Holy Frozen Tundra Batman!!!

Very pleased to report that Mindy and I got our run in today...we were lucky and could plan it for the light of day for a change. That may have helped by a few degrees, but it was still only 22 out by the thermometer. And with the substantial wind, who knows?

It's tough to run in the cold, but it is so much more tolerable with a good buddy. I thank God for Mindy at least twice a week!!!

Learned another new stretch at PT today. One that had me making some unattractive noises as Don nudged the arms in a certain direction. This is one of those cases of "No pain, no gain." In order to gain mobility, I have to stretch those shoulders...good grief, I never knew a shoulder was supposed to stretch so much. I've just always been so tight all my life, never knew it could be any different. This whole PT experience could be life-changing!

When working with the kettle bell, I have been counting in Russian. Seems appropriate to me. Funny thought for the day...I can do more than 10 reps since I can only count to 10 in Russian!

I've released myself from PT, for better or worse. When the insurance will only cover 30 visits a year and I have used 6 by the end of January, it is a source of great stress. Since I certainly don't need any more stress in my life, I'm going to give this a whirl on my own. I hope I don't regret it. We shall see.
