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?
I don't usually respond to your threads...but in this case I will..for once.
Ignoring pain...can have long-term effects. Crippling effects as a matter of fact. From your post I see that you consider yourself to be "heroic" and therefore defying pain..etc etc.
I know people like you...I have seen what happens in the long-term. Spinal injuries...neck injuries...stuff that will haunt you all your life.
I would suggest if you are doing these things to yourself..that you at least consult a medical professional..to make sure that you aren't in the long run putting yourself in a wheelchair as an end result.
You aren't invincible...you are human, just like the rest of us. To ignore that...well those results will be your consequences to live with.
You're mistaken. Giving in to pain is a concession and concessions are for the weak. Besides it's only a 5K race, not a marathon. It's not like I am going to permanently injure myself.
I have endured pain that has made me beg for death. Running with an injured leg is nothing so long as I remind myself of what I have endured in the past. Nothing so petty as pain is going to stand between me and my victory tomorrow.
I appreciate your advice nonetheless.

Indeed, enjoy runing your next race using a zimmer frame, as runing with a injured leg is stupid and will cause permanent damage.

Aww man awesome. Now you have to do it just to get that sweet, sweet bionic upgrade. And obligatory red jump suit.

running with an injured leg will slow down only those who lack the resolve to endure despite such a pain.

Where might I find those legends?
