Ohhh!!! Ohhh!!! I know, I know!!!

Training for a marathon, but doing it full bore right after two months of Surgery and Leave (and because you were lazy, no running)!!! 25 miles a week, with old shoes, because you didn't want to spend the money QUITE yet to get new ones!!! Getting a weird pain in your leg, and ignoring it, because you are a hard (dumb) ass!!!!! Finding out the Myrtle Beach marathon is a week away, and even though you have the leg pain and have only trained for a month and a half (and never runone before), deciding to run it!!! Running through the pain because "PUSSIES QUIT!!!" Finding out a week later you have a grade two stress fracture and have to spend a month in purgatory as a broke dick, waiting a class instead of going to Sage next Sunday!!!! Going two and a half years with two sick call visits (Poison Ivy in the field), and NOW, at the END, hurting yourself because you are a cocky barrel chested freedom fighter wannabe.
......Or at least, I would ASSUME that's a running no-no....not that I know, or anything (Hand slapping forehead)
