I twisted my ankle yesterday. Fortunately, after my walk. I'm going to have to be creative about exercise for a few days. The yoga routines I've been using for strength-training aren't going to work with a sore ankle. So, I may invent some arm and core work that doesn't require bending my ankle.

October goal: 1400 minutes, including 25x stretching and 8x strength-training

1: 20 walk, 10 stretch; 30/1400, 1/25 stretch
2: 20 walk, 50/1400
3: 30 stretch; 80/1400, 2/25 stretch
4: 20 walk; 100/1400
5: 30 walk, 10 stretch, 20 yoga (Day 2); 160/1400, 2/25 stretch, 1/8 ST
6: 45 walk, 10 stretch; 215/1400, 3/25 stretch
7: 25 walk, 10 stretch, 20 yoga (Day 3); 270/1400; 4/25 stretch, 2/8 ST
8: 35 walk; 305/1400
9: 45 walk, 15 stretch; 365/1400, 5/25 stretch
10: 25 walk, 15 stretch; 405/1400, 6/25 stretch
11: 45 walk, 10 stretch; 460/1400, 7/25 stretch
12: 40 walk, 10 stretch, 15 yoga (Day 4 - R&R); 525/1400, 8/25 stretch

I'm starting super late... but that just means I can use this as a smaller goal to get myself going! I am using BodyBot to help me exercise. It sends me reminders everyday and gauges each workout by the one before it. I am really excited to get my first one done tonight! I'm planning on 20/min a day, so 210 min for the rest of the month?

I tried a few simple dance moves yesterday and my ankle has been more sore ever since. Sigh. I guess I'll stick to short walks and standing/sitting stretches and strength-training moves.
