Would it make me a wimp to skip out on a 5K?

I have been doing a lot of running recently in addition to my standard training routine of weight lifting and freestyle martial arts/swordfighting.  I did a 5K(3.1 miles) race last week which I finished in a mind blowingly fast time of 19:33.
As many of you know, a 5 K is really nothing as I have run races of far greater distance.
However, I pulled a calf muscle recently and it has been tremendously painful.  This is bad because I have another 5K coming up this upcoming Saturday.

People are telling me I should forfeit the race.  Pain is not an issue as I have learned to ignore all pain in my body.  Rather the issue is that I fear further injury may impede my running abilities in the future and I should therefore rest for a bit.

Are there any kinesiology students who can give me a suggestion on what actions I should take?

That's enough of that, thank you.



End of line.
