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

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.
