I\u2019ve even hyper extended my knee on two different running occasions and been alright after resting for a second.  I would be fine.  The next morning I was standing in the kitchen telling Tabitha how my ankle was sore from walking into the kitchen.  I turned to get something and that exact pain came shooting again. \u201cSON OF A !\u201d <br \/>\n\u201cIce it.\u201d  <br \/>\nSo I did. All day on Monday I iced the hell out of it.  I would have to be fine before Saturday because I had my trail 10k coming up. I iced every day and each day it didn\u2019t get better, it got worse.  Yesterday I hit the point of frustration because it was up to every 20 steps I took, I got that shooting pain. <br \/>\nNow it\u2019s Friday and my race is tomorrow and I am sick to my stomach thinking that I won\u2019t make it through. <br \/>\nI decided that I don\u2019t care how much pain I am in. I am going to start it and finish it. I might be dead last, but I need to prove to myself that I am stronger than I am.  I\u2019ve already proven I am more stubborn and more stupid than I thought I was.<\/p>\n<p>I told Lester he has to run his own race. Get his time.  When it comes to time and placement I am not as competitive as I should be.  I\u2019m just always the person out there just happy to be able to run and be a part of something bigger than myself.  I thought Tabitha was going to kill me when I gave up 10 to 15 minutes of my time in one race to help this guy over one of the obstacles.  In my first run I was the person stopping to help people take pictures next to the mile markers.  I really don\u2019t care if I\u2019m last, but that I can look back on that race and say, \u201cOMG, that was so fun!\u201d<br \/>\nThis race I actually TRAINED for though.  I took the trail in sections and ran it during the week and on the weekends. I did the whole trail to see how well I could do it and how much water I would need. This was going to the race I could be proud of my time.  <\/p>\n<p>If I get there and there is absolutely NO WAY I can do it, I will be cheering people on\u2026NOOOO, I don\u2019t want to not do this.  That trail is SO MUCH FUN!
