if it was a bad sprain, seems normal that it'd still be hurt now, after less than a month. i sprained my right ankle six times when i was in my early 20s and the worse ones took a month or so to recover from. definitely recommend doing some ankle-specific rehab. for example:

- single leg balancing (progress by standing on a cushion, closing your eyes, throwing a ball against the wall and catching it, and setting up obstacles on the ground to reach for while maintaining balance)
- towel toe curls (stand or sit with your toes on the edge of a towel and curl your toes to draw the towel underneath your foot a bit at a time)
- ankle circles (max range of motion in both directions, and to mix it up you can use your big toe to spell out the alphabet in the air)

started to feel like an actual workout on the fifth rep. i should note that the gym is warm and very humid.

today

- climbing x 45 mins
walked up to what seems to be a brand-new bouldering gym about a mile from my hotel. the routes were not that fun and the holds were extremely rough. that + not climbing for two weeks = hands rubbed pretty raw. but glad i at least tried it out! heading to the airport in a couple hours, door-to-door it should be about 31-32 hours, a bit shorter than the way over.
