Detour or Roadblock --- Not Clear Yet

Detour or Roadblock --that is the question.  I am I believe 4 weeks from my first marathon and had been right on track with training.  However, in the past 10 days, my training has been "on pause".  It was necessary that I take a break to head down to Florida and help my Mom out, who is having some health problems.  I did go for one run while away, but that's it.

My plan?  Tomorrow I am going to jump back into training, where I would normally be had I not taken the break.  I will slow my pace down and try to complete the remaining training runs and just see how it goes.  Already paid the registration months ago, so I might as well follow through with it and assess the situation when I get closer to the marathon.

Any tips at this point are appreciated.  Ever have to take a break in training either due to injury, business or personal issues?  How did you handle it?
