You have been held back most of your running career by a series of injuries so to combat this your coach changes you to running more on your forefoot. At first it seems good but then you are plagued by a different set of injuries.

You base build all summer following the "summer of Malmo" only to break a metatarsal right as XC season begins.
You Bust your hump all year, run your BQ, only to loose out to someone who has a better internet connection then you!
You and your coach know you are ready for a 10K American record, have your pr people set up the media for a spectacular perfect event. You plan alternate tracks to assure ideal weather, where your business jet it fueled and ready at a minutes notice.
Get everyone tuned in and ready.
The race goes off and you run the time that would beat that American record, but fail to do so as another American, beats you to it in that very race.

You start a thread about Murphy's Law and Running, then half of the responses don't follow your lead.
Your mom calls to tell you to pick up your brother from work but you don't have a brother.
All injuries get better in exactly the time it takes to lose any semblance of fitness
The time taken to get fully fit coincides with the time you are exactly ready for another injury
Some other poster was right about the uphill both ways bit. With the the wind in your face out & back!

You are about to go for a run, and then your heart stops, and you die!
You stay up too late, and your next morning's run is really challenging. The damn Murphy is quite the character.
