Welcome to the group. You did get some good advice, drink lots of water and stay active even if you feel like you are so tired you can't put one foot in front of the other. You probably will not be able to run 6-8 miles but do what you can, even if it is only 1 or 2 miles and with time you will be able to run your 8 miles again. Good Luck! Love, Peace, Hope & Prayers, Pat
