It's one thing to run 26 miles, but throw in an injury at mile 23 and not quit. That's amazing.   One time I started cramping at mile 5 of a marathon. I knew I was in for a long day. At mile 19, I quit. Discretion was the better part of valor. My body shut down and had stopped processing fluids. And that can be very dangerous. Most casual joggers are not aware of the symptoms.   No pun intended, but injuries, in the long run, can extend your running career. They give your body much needed rest.</blockquote>
