I rolled my ankle. I was wearing an ankle brace or it would have been much worse. It was pretty painful but I was able to walk on it, and even jog a little, but I didn't keep playing. I tightened my shoe slightly to keep any swelling down then iced it when I got home. I think I'll be able to run on it in 2-3 days.

3 miles @ 9:42/mi. THS track solo.

I thought Larry was heading to the track at 5:15am but I never saw him. On the way there, about 3/4 mi. into the run, I felt a little twinge in my injured ankle and almost turned back. Instead I decided to walk the last 1/4 mile or so to the track to see if maybe Larry was ahead of me. I only walked briefly before I felt like jogging again.

I ended up running one lap uptempo to see how it felt on my ankle. I ended up running a couple of more then decided to err on the side of prudence and head home.

1/4 mile splits (pace): 7:02/mi, 6:55/mi, 7:24/mi

I think I'll skip running tomorrow and hope I can do a moderate run on Saturday.

8.25 miles @ 9:15/mi Provo Canyon trail with Wayne.

Wayne and I ran from the mouth up past Bridal Veil and back. It was a beautiful morning in a beautiful place. We went up easy and pushed the last 3 miles down from Nunn Park.

Splits: 11:07, 10:16, 10:20, 10:17, 8:36, 7:33, 7:58, 7:51

Wayne been recovering but was only a little behind me...the fastest he's run in a while. As we were chatting in the parking lot after the run Greg Wrubell greeted us after his run and it was nice chatting with him for a few minutes. He mentioned he ran Ragnar again (he ran it with us about 9 years ago) and said he saw Kerry Southworth and our old team at the start of one of his legs.
