5.43 miles easy. So I decided to run on the trails after work. I really needed to get more sleep, so I figured I'd run in the afternoon. I planned on just doing an easy 8 miles or so on the Bonneville Shoreline, but when I got to Adam's Canyon I got the irrestible urge to run up it. It's super steep but not real long (I climbed 925 feet on the run). Unfortunately toward the top on the really steep part I was about to pass a hiker who stepped to the side to let me by and instead of watching my footing I was thanking him and my left foot slipped off a rock and I face-planted on the rocky trail. My right leg to the brunt of the fall and it got cut up pretty good. So after that I headed back down to get to my car to clean the cuts. By the time I got back it was starting to bruise and it's a bit sore now. So, long story short I had to cut the run short and before the top of the trail. How embarrassing though to eat it right in front of that dude! At least he was kind enough not to laugh!

Hopefully it's just bruised and will heal in the next few days.
