Shawn Dobbins, you're going to kill me.

Remember that one time 5 years ago when we were training for the Fox Cities Marathon and we were running down Cecil St. and I had to stop because of this incredible pain in my knee?? Remember? Before we went to Camp Onaway?

Remember how we started the marathon and we got to mile four and I told you I had to drop out?

Yeah? Well guess what...I just injured myself again like 6 hours ago....and I FREAKED out; Amber would agree with me on that. The exact same knee, the exact same injury.

Isn't it ironic how just a few hours prior to this post I said how I hurt and hope I feel better by Saturday? Nope, guess not.

Isn't it also ironic how last year I did two half-marathons without any kind of difficulty? And this year, I do the exact same training regime and I get hurt again.

So, needless to say, I'm about 90% sure I won't be running the half-marathon with you. But I will still be going down to PDC on Friday night to camp and getting up at the crack of dawn to meet you at the starting line. Heck, I'll warm up with you, get my goodie bag, cheer you on during the race. And if I feel crazy enough, I may even start the race with you and drop out at mile 2.

I don't know what to say man...this sucks! I wanted to cry a million tears after I got hurt. After 3 months of training I wouldn't have thought it would have happened now.

But I'll see you on Saturday, bright and early.

Man, good thing I didn't register for those other two half-marathons later this month!
