Neither do i....there is still time left to pull a rabbit out of the hat.....if i can focus off of the pain i can make it...problem is boston memories from last year running witb foot pain is making my normal masochistic self shudder. I truly am the most psychopathic runner on the blog these days. I just cant take the dnf right now...why finish the rest if i cant finish the first mentality? It is not about competition....it is finishing

Julie, I hope your body/mind can find a way to make Saturday a good memory for you, injured or not. Run it if you can, walk it if you can't; you'll know your limits. Good luck!
