Sick During Peak Training Week!

I came down with strep throat immediately after an 11 mile run last Saturday. My training plane had me doing three short runs this week and another 11 miler -- I've been in bed for all of it.
My training plan has me scheduled to taper (6 short runs until the half) from now until the half on July 8. Any recommendations on getting back into things, and somehow not over- or under-doing it?
I worry that only one 11 mile run under my belt won't leave me totally equipped for the half, but I don't see myself being able to do anything more than 4 today.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

I think you will be ok. I just ran a Half yesterday with my long run being 10 miles. Trust the training you have done before the Strep throat and just do your taper runs. I think you will be fine. Let your strength come back to you in the next 2 weeks and rock that Race
Friend me and we can discuss more things if you want
