Nevermind

Disaster strikes!  After three months of dedicated training and defeating odds and battling against embedded preconceptions surrounding my ability to do sport, I have strained my right hip flexor.

It hurts in the morning, it hurts in the day.
It hurts walking up the stairs, it hurts when I play (sports, not, say, chess).
It hurts when I sit too long, riding on my scooter.
It hurts when I spend all day watching my computer.

It hurts a week before my race; it's just not fair.
I didn't even know I had a hip flexor when I didn't care
About my Cambodian marathon
(A half - I know - same, same)
But, you know, if you refuse to stretch
You've only got yourself to blame.
