A.M. Physical therapy. More graston and stretching. They think the IT band and quad are looking pretty good, so I'm cleared to jog slowly for 2-3 miles a day for the next 5-6 days. Next week, we'll reassess and determine if I need to schedule any follow-ups for the following week. If not, I'll be able to ramp up the mileage and schedule something in 2-3 weeks.. fingers crossed.

 Lunch: Yoga. I don't understand why they keep the yoga rooms so warm. It wasn't even a 'warm' yoga class.  I think I would pass out if I tried a 'hot' yoga class. It just makes me feel light-headed and gross. No good.

 Our kitchen pipes and radiator pipe that heats our A-frame froze over night. The hubby stayed home this morning to try to heat the house up enough to get them to unfreeze but had to leave around lunch to get into work for a meeting. Hopefully I don't come home to a flooded house. Ah, fun in the mountains.

Great to hear about your IT and running, not so good about your pipes. Hope everything is ok and they unthaw without any problems. I talked to my mom the other day and she said the temp where they are was 9. That was only 6 degrees warmer than we were at the time!

Unfortunately, the radiator pipe did not make it. Luckily, it was not too much of a mess and we got someone to come and fix it a couple days later. I think we escaped relatively easily. Some friends of ours still have a frozen kitchen drain and it's been well over a week. It was definitely colder than normal for CO.. our houses just aren't built for those temperatures! I think it was -30 in our town the night our pipes froze.
