I would say leave the pavement till the race and then you can take 2 weeks off to recover. It is not like hills that you need to train for. I would say that if the pounding is getting to you then avoid it.

I have 4 weeks till my half marathon and my ankle / shin is hurting pretty bad, but after a few miles it dulls. Doing 15 last saturday was tough, but I did do the first 13.1 in under 1:40. Woo hoo.

I plan on suffering till my race and then giving it all I have.

For the neuroma, I had one of those a few years ago. IT was cool cause it did that clicking thing that you can do to diagnose it. I ended up going to the foot doctor, and getting a pad that went on my insert that helped to disperse the ball area of my foot.

Come on tough it out. Stress fractures are only temporary.
