      Feels like I sprained by right ankle area this morning during a run, so I will be out of the challenge for a few days. I usually run track but, this morning I ran on the park paved trail, which I haven't done a lot of. Not sure if I came down awkwardly on it and didn't realize it at the moment or what exactly did happened.

      That's a bummer! I hope it's nothing too serious or permanent. Rest and recover well!

      I've been going with the minimum the last cpl days. Partly to rest but mostly because my other workouts haven't had as many steps and I don't want to get burnt out. :) I've still gotten the 20,000 in tho.

      I'm a tad bummed about yesterday's. I had walked about 23-30 min before I realized I had forgotten my Fitbit in my other shorts. Fortunately I was still able to hit the 20,000 step goal but it was probably closer to 24,000. No worries. I still benefit from the exercise whether the steps were tracked or not. :)

      So, I'm a little bummed I didn't get in my 20,000 before midnight. I even tried jogging for a length of time. I just couldn't get the steps to add up quick enough. However, if it counts, I got 28,610 more by the time I got done dancing and walking tonight. ;)
