great question...hypothetically...terribly painful when my collar bone actually broke.
THANK YOU OVER-ZEALOUS-TWO-HAND-TOUCH-FOOTBALL-PLAYER-GUY! (this isn't a Bud Light commercial)
what does this have to do with "the mental physical challenge"? glad you asked...because the first real thought i had (other than my shoulder is dislocated so i'll rotate it a couple times to be sure...OUCH...don't try that at home) was that i won't be able to run a marathon. if i were a marathoner, this would make sense...but i pretty much HATE RUNNING!
i was scheduled to do my first triathlon the very next weekend with Kevin...so i had been running some to train for that...but the farthest i ever went was a slim shady less than 5 miles. of the three events, running was definitely my least favorite to train for...because....it's.........so................boring!
some people say they love running because they either zone out...or get in the zone (autozone?)...i personally prefer the zone blitz. biking offers thrilling speeds and ever changing scenery while swimming requires alot of concentration on technique...but running...what is there? left foot...right foot...left foot...don't trip. if there's a ball involved, i can run all day...but running by itself offers the same mindless, repetitve, boringness over and over.
the subconcious was trying to tell me something. with running a marathon being the first thing i thought of when OZTHTFPG came into my life, i'm listening. finishing a marathon is now one of my life goals.
if only my first post-continous-collar-bone thought had been..."i won't get to taste homebrew" or "i won't get to watch the Cleveland Browns win the superbowl".

Don't make broken bones a label. That's just a bad omen! I'll have none of that this year.
