down in flames

I don't want to admit this to Lacy but I don't think I can run the marathon with her next week. You see last weekend I was doing sprints as part of a physical training session with my Reserves unit and if I didn't pull me freakin' hamstring. The bad boy went "pop!" and I went "oh crap!" I've been limping around for five days now and there is no relief in sight. So, Lacy my love, I will be there in spirit but this guy probably won't be able to run. I hate for you to find out this way, but I didn't have the guts to tell you over dinner.
