Ran 4 miles after work. I had no energy whatsoever - don't know if I was tired, adjusting to heat, or what. Ankle does good with the brace on. It just hurts sometimes during the day when I don't brace it.

Tried a new exercise from the Biggest Loser Simple Swaps. Take a deck of cards and shuffle it. Diamonds = pushups, Hearts = lunges/squats, Spades = Reverse Crunches, Clubs = Crunches. Face cards = 10 reps. Aces = 1 minute break. Turn over one card at a time and do the number of reps and assigned exercise. Total time spent < 20 minutes.

i saw a guy doing this at the gym a few weeks ago. i could tell he was playing some sort of workout game with the cards, but i couldn't figure out the rules just by observing him. thanks for posting. i think i'll try that sometime.

KP - A reverse crunch is when you put your hands under your butt and pull your knees up towards your chest (works lower abs).

Allie - It was fun. You could do all sorts of variations based on this idea.
