Rough day today.  Started out feeling good.  Jogged 3 miles down to the track.  Was going to try a 10k at 6:30-40 pace, but wasn't sure due to the 80 degree heat.  Mile 1 felt ok (6:32) and then started to feel like I was getting into a groove by mile 2 (6:30)...however, the girls lacrosse team came and needed the track area, so I shut things down and went out to white's woods.  The woods were about ten degrees cooler, so adjusted today's goal for pace.  Decided to run the 5k course and go for a pr (19:09)...started out the first mile at 6min flat, felt able to pick it up a notch as mile 2 began w/a slight downhill...then hit a root about 1/4 into mile 2 and completely face planted.  Took about 20 seconds to get up and realized my ankle hurt pretty bad.  Found a fountain to wash blood off hands, knees, elbows.  Rocks dug into palms pretty good.  No shirt, so chest and neck covered with combination of rocks, leaves, mulch like stuff.  Must have been a pretty nice site to see.  Jogged 1 1/2 miles back to the gym to discover a knot the size of a softball on the outside of my ankle...I have a 20k set up for next Monday...I'm usually quick healer, so hopefully things will be ok within a few days.  Ahh...had such a good opportunity for a great running day- just not quite meant to be I guess.  9.5 miles total- 3.25 at threshold pace.

ICE ICE ICE and take tomorrow off. This will make sure know hidden injury will flare up from the fall. If it still hurts tomorrow don't run on it the next few days

Nice pace for the rest of the workout.

Ouch, ditto on Kory's comment. Maybe should consider dumping the 20 miler and, if feeling better, a very easy-short run...

Sorry to hear about the fall/injury. You are in great shape so take the time and make sure you get it healed properly. You will bounce back quickly.
