My wife and I are coming for Marathon Weekend, I am doing Dopey and she planned on doing the 1/2.
Well, two weeks ago she tripped over boxes of Xmas decorations as she stepped off the treadmill (my fault, as I left them too close).
She ended up with one severely sprained ankle and one fractured ankle, the sprain is more painful than the fracture. Her orthopedist gave her two Aircasts and told her no running for at least 4 weeks, which would be the week of her Half. She briefly entertained run/walking the half but she isn't seeing much improvement in her ankles and now has decided it is not in her best interest to attempt the race.
I know the fine print says "non-refundable" but has anyone had success getting a refund or deferment from RunDisney and what method did you use? I'd love to recoup at least some of the race fee and race retreat and possibly use it for W&D.
She is also considering staying home completely as she doesn't even think she'd be able to navigate the parks to her satisfaction. So my carelessness may have just turned a nice getaway with my wife into a solo trip.
