Benched...week # 3

It is supposed to be 7 weeks until my marathon (that's right, 26.2 miles).
However, I'm benched.
Indefinitely.
And you know why?
A serious pain in my ass.
My pain in the ass is many things:
Literal.
Figurative.
A blow to the ego.
A mountain to climb.
A risk factor for insomnia.
A reminder of 32 years on this earth.
A mountain that can't be climbed (at least not right now).
A deductible to likely be paid.
A lesson in patience.
A test of willpower.
A discouragement.
A motivator.
A seed.
The one thing I'm not going to allow my pain in the ass to be:
A reason to quit.
