Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body -U.S. Marines

I guess this means that I've got a lot of weakness. I have officially deferred my entry for the Austin Marathon to 2011. The pain after my weekend run in Houston was too much. At mile two my legs began to lock up. I soaked in an ice bath and still the pain was present. I'm bummed about it because this is the second year in a row that I've had to drop out after six months of training. I'm going to give it a rest and start training like the Tarahumara tribe of Chiapas, Mexico. That's right, I'm going barefoot.

This officially means that the Marathon brew will be called, "Oh My Achin' Feet Wheat." Congratulations Coby, I will deliver your beer as soon as you finish the marathon.
