Run or die. Perhaps both

Being 34ish and clearly out of shape can have serious side-effects when it comes to being a competitive runner. Having run over 43 miles in 3+ weeks - I feel accomplished and stronger than ever. At the same time, I have a certain pain radiating from the back of my heel and up my calf that feels like my foot is being sheared clear off. 

Nevertheless, I am pleased with my progress. I am behind my competitor, but i feel confident I can catch him. Whether it be by foot or outright cheating.

Pain simply means the running is working.
