Well, I didn't make it to *my* marathon today. I would have, but I stayed up all night online with mysticalraine--and Lyssa--playing Yahoo Literati (Scrabble). I know that sounds like a lame excuse, but I really needed such a self-limiting alibi otherwise I would likely have gotten *a good night's rest*, gotten up at 5 a.m., and run against all better judgment.
Fine.
Except right about now, I would almost surely be confronted with dropping out of the race in actuality lame from pre-existent pinching and severe spasms in my right neck and back shoulder area. Precisely one week ago today, it seems, I injured myself hauling air conditioners and all whatnots up and out of a basement for spring deployment. And I still cannot turn my neck 90 degrees to the right without strain. That's possibly acceptable pain and strain to run through in a short race--possibly . But in a marathon, starting off with such limitations in maneuverability and flexibility, is unquestionably deadly.
