How Not to Quit When You Want to Quit — Day 146

This morning I turned my ankle a bit as I was out running. It was nothing too serious, and I was able to lumber back home before it swelled up, but it’s definitely going to be sore for a while. It would be best to rest and let it heal up before I run again, but I think I can still do upper body workouts if I’m careful. It’s a shame because this minor injury wouldn’t have even bothered me when I was younger, but I guess Father Time comes for us all in one way or another.

Despite my injury, I was still able to get around pretty well. I did all my chores without a hitch (though I obviously opted to drive around instead of walk), and I hardly noticed any pain as I was doing mundane tasks. I still got off my feet earlier than usual, and with my free time I decided to get lost in some reading. Even if I’m sedentary, I can still find other ways to work on myself.

You’d be surprised how much better you look with improved posture.

I was a little bit conflicted during tonight’s workout, as I clearly wanted to be cautious with how hard I worked, but I had also planned to implement some new exercises the night before. I decided it would be best to just forego the new exercises and keep things simple, and I’m sure my ankle thanked me for that!
