I did 2.25 mi at an 8:20 pace and then 1/2 mi of straights and turns on a track.  Then I did 3 continuous miles on a track with a triathlon club 7:02, 8:00, 6:54.  Then ran 3mi averaging 8:30 min/mi and then a 1/4mi cool down.  The weather was nice, in the 60's and I felt really good.

Easy 4 miles at about an 8:55 pace

I took a spill on the sidewalk trying to go around a lady on a bike going up a hill.  My foot hit the corner of a raised part of the sidewalk and I went down.  I twisted my ankle slightly and limped for about a minute, then it started feeling better and I got back into my pace.  When I got home I iced my ankle and took a Tylenol.  Hopefully I feel good during tomorrows run.  I use to roll my ankle all the time playing soccer when I was younger and the pain didn't last long.

It's definitely a minor sprain.  I still have swelling today, but no bruising and it hurts to walk but not too bad.  I will probably take a week off from running, or until the swelling goes down.  I have a triathlon in two weeks (the Miami Man) so I want to be good by then since I've already spent $200 on the race between the entry fee and hotel room.  I can still bike though, so I will probably increase my bike miles this next week.  I rode today with my ankle wrapped and there was no pain.  As far as my marathon training goes, I am registered for two with 6 weeks in between.  I will probably make Disney just another long run and stay back with my friends who are also running the race and make 26.2 with Donna Marathon my all out marathon.  I'll see though, if I recover in a week and my ankle feels strong then I might just pick up my training where I left off.  If it takes two weeks or longer, then I will definitely make my 2nd marathon my A marathon.

My ankle was swollen 1/4" on Thursday and now its down to 1/5" (using calipers) and the pain is subsiding.  I went for a 25mi bike ride today on a trail.  My ankle didn't hurt at all riding.  I've been wearing a neoprene ankle wrap, using cryoderm, and taking ibprofen.  I bought a bike trainer today so I can substitute my running for cycling next week when I can't make it to the trail.  I also bike commute to class everyday, so I will still get that riding in as well which is about 30 mi/wk.
