8.5 Years Ago

Over the past months I have been training for my first ever 1/2 marathon (a part of the White Rock Marathon) in Dallas. I had worked up to 11.5 miles. I injured my lower back and now for the 6 days have only run 1 mile with some pain. If the worse case happens and I am not able to run more until the race, how much lower should I expect the race to go. I had hoped to finish between 2.5 and 3 hours. I don't know if I should figure I will hit the wall after a mile or that I may have to walk some. It has been very discouraging.
