You know what I&#8217;m talking about. John Rambo is waging war against the Russians in Afghanistan and has been shot in the side. He&#8217;s bunkered down in some cave, hurting, but he&#8217;s a survivor. In order to cauterize the wound he takes some gun powder and packs it into his flesh and then in a literal trial by fire, he sets himself on fire to seal the hole in his side. A howl of pain echoes through the chamber and into the desert air.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cd1kIH9YF6U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s how my side feels. Like I&#8217;ve set myself on fire. I think it&#8217;s better than having some punk wannabe royal jab a pin into a voodoo doll. Because really this should mean I&#8217;m on the mend. Still, it hurts like a rolling Stallone.<\/p>\n<p>To survive a marathon, you&#8217;ve got to become a marathon. So onward I go&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Because temperatures are breaking 100 as the days wear on here in the Northwest, the good people at Mainly Marathons are offering a SUPER-Early Start of 4 am. I hope I won&#8217;t need the extra time but I&#8217;m going to take advantage of it so as to get on the road a bit earlier later today. It&#8217;s supposedly a 2.5 hour drive to Lewiston, ID, so an extra hour means I can get there hopefully by lunchtime.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, I&#8217;m not sleeping anyway. I did get a few hours nap in the afternoon which is more than I&#8217;ve gotten in one go in ages. But it&#8217;s 12:47 am and I need to be up at 3:07 if I&#8217;m going to be running by 4.<\/p>\n<p>No rest for the wicked; no rest then for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a scene in Rambo III.
