To 20K or not to 20K...

Well, I am sitting here the afternoon before my 20K that I signed up for with Beall and I am having the internal debate of whether or not I should actually run it. NOW WAIT- i'm not going to wimp out because of the distance, or the heat, yada yada yada... I'm just trying to figure out whether my knee will hold up for this tomorrow.
Let me explain.
Thursday, while attending the DC United v. LA Galaxy soccer game - AHEM, david beckham, AHEM- I slipped and rammed my knee into the seat in front of me and got a majorly huge and annoying bruise. At first i thought it was like a funny bone pain where it hurts CRAZY bad and then it'll go away, so i waited. and waited. and waited. 2 days later it still hurts like crazy and i can't bend down or stand up without excruciating pain. THIS WOULD ONLY HAPPEN TO ME, mind you. So I am debating whether running will loosen it up a bit and eventually be fine or whether somehow i could do more damage. i really don't think i could do any damage cause it really can't be more than just a real bad bruise. BUT i also don't want to run 12 miles in a heck of a lot of pain! So, there's my struggle. I'll let you know what i decide, wish me luck!
