Ben and I had a bet before we went out to Salt Lake at the end of May. We started it some time back in March. The bet was if we worked out at least 3 times a week, every week until the trip, we get a prize. Woohoo!
I was already in the habit of working out 2-3 times a week. I designed the bet to mostly be a challenge for Ben. :) Despite this, it was actually hard for me to do 3 times a week consistently, every week. Ben fell off the wagon early on. Sad, because we really made the bet to help him with working out more than we did it to help me. But I totally got my prize.
But then I got overzealous and I started going up to 4 times a week for some weeks. I say overzealous because NOW my ankle is totally sore and I cannot run!!!! No!!!! It's all stiff. As if I needed a reminder that I am not an olympian. Give me a break! Not literally, please.
So I have been biking and doing the arc trainer at the gym instead. I am trying to be nice and not run too soon on it because I would really like to be able to run when we go on vacation -- mostly because I don't anticipate I will have access to the gym, the arc trainer or the stationary bike. But i will inevitably want to exercise and could run, if my ankle would cooperate.
Two weeks and counting till we leave. I'll let you know if my little ankle is nursed back to health in time.
