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

He doesn't have those yet?
Well, I guess I am better than him.

Pain is an illusion for the weak. I can feel pain just like anyone else but I am completely apathetic towards it. If it just be pain that I have to conquer this upcoming Saturday then I have nothing to fear. however, if I am running the risk of an injury then it may be wise to gracefully forfeit.
An injury may make it harder to train and every day without training is a day wasted.
Actually... pain is your body's way to tell you something is wrong... If you had a broken ligament, it would hurt because the tissue is no longer conneting the bones and forming a joint, not because it is an "illusion"...

You are not a serious or responsible athlete if you ignore injuries or perceive pain as a weakness. There is a difference with discomfornt and pain. Learn it.
Anything that inhibits abilities unnecessarily is a weakness. If pain slows you down, then you are weak. I am apathetic towards pain but I am not so foolish as to ignore it completely. If the pain is sign of a potential greater injury which will limit my abilties, then I will take it seriously. If the pain just intends to slow me down then it wastes it's time. I mastered pain at an early age and it has never won a battle with me yet.
You mean when you were bitten by a rattlesnake and survived 3 days without the antivenom... and now when I think about it... how did you survive? Did you get the antivenom in the end? If you did, I will no longer hold you as my idol, because you used mortal things such as antivenom to survive.
Just so you know, it is not possible to survive from hemotoxin without the antivenom, because the hemotoxin will stay in your body till your erythrocytes are destroyed, and you would die, stop ignoring the obvious evidence that is right in front of you ! You could not survive!

So you're saying you'd be able to block out the pain of losing a limb? Riiiiiiight, I'd love to see that. I dont care how resistant to pain you think you are, you WILL buckle under the pain of losing a limb.

You forget that human body IS weak, vulnerable to all kinds of damage. Your mind and self control might be strong and you might be able to block pain from interfering, but you are then ignoring that there is something wrong in your body and risking even greater injury, perhaps even injury that can turn to permanent handicap. Then no amount of willpower helps because you are simply unable to do what you did before.
So if you suspect there might be something serious, atleast check with the doctor, he can tell if you can participate to whatever you are going to do, or not.

I thank you all for your advice but to forfeit the race tomorrow is the same as losing it, and to me losing is the same as dying.
Even if both of my legs are broken I will drag myself to that finish line ahead of my enemies even if I have to crawl.

You'd be surprised at how quickly I can move with my arms. I remember during one race I had a conversation with a wheelchair racer who had tremendous upper body strength. He said that when he lost his legs in Iraq he had to use his arms for everything and eventually could even walk and run with his arms.
That made me realize that by living like a crippled, I could increase my upper body strength. I did for a few weeks. It was excruciating but I got used to it and eventually excelled at it.
I had to stop eventually though to recover leg strength but I have retained most of the arm strength I gained through vigorous strength training.
That explains why my biceps are so huge.

"Unnecessarily"? Pain is a warning signal to the brain, and it is up to your brain to determine wether it will classify as discomfort (ie the "pain" after a long workout session because your muscles are sore) or "don't do this" pain (ie the pain from ripping a muscle). Whomever told you that pain is your enemy is an idiot, it is the equal of saying that your antivirus "threat detected" announcement is the enemy and you should always ignore it.
Overcoming pain is basically what it takes to become an athlete. Jack, I'd say if you're feeling strong enough to ask the question I'd be tempted to try and run through it. You just need to be mature enough to stop during the run if you need to.

.... You have enemy runners? Didn't realize running was That competitive..... you should go to your arch-nemesis's house and bludgeon his leg with a crowbar, that way you'll both have the same handicap!Busomjack wrote...
After much thought and consideration I have decided that I will be running the race despite the strong risk of injury.

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?

It's a possibility but I take risks every day. Hell, I live every day knowing that it could be my last. As strong and courageous as I may be I am still mortal and I have accepted that.
The predicament I face is deciding whether or not a 5 K is worth such a risk. Normally I would say no but my arch nemesis from the half marathon I ran earlier is in the race and I can't have him accusing me of cowardice.
Even if I do drop out of the race I'll have a chance to face him again in the upcoming Louisville marathon this September but still, just the thought of him thinking he's better than me for that long makes me physically sick!
Doesn't everyone take risks everyday, that one cup of morning coffee could be enough to cause bad palpatations, crossing the street when it says it's okay to walk may not stop the jackass running the light, that guy driving behind you could be your murderer, who knows...oh yeah those pesky assassin ninja's that don't like you knowing their secrets:bandit:
I thought people just run marathons because they like the challenge, or the health aspect of it (I know that's why I'd do it if I was striving to get to that level of endurance), if you made an enemy at the races then I'm sure you may have said or done something to make it that way (if you see the guys running the London marathon they are mostly concerned with personal best times at that level of competition, not who they just beat out of 10,000+ runners).

Busomjack, I'd just like you to know, that without your example, we'd all be incredible losers. And no, that is not sarcasm.

An injury may make it harder to train and every day without training is a day wasted.
