Back towards normal

batskeetsI've been having a rough go of it, as you might've guessed from various Friends-Only/Filtered ramblings. Work, stress, emotions, PMS, and a stupid head cold, have all given me a mighty punch in the face.
But, one bright spot yesterday went a long way: I ran 2.5 miles yesterday, and my knee actually felt okay when it was all over. Not perfect, by any means, but noticeably better. I was wearing my new insoles, and had a couple weeks of PT under my belt, and it all appears to be working.
That run was exactly what I needed to work out a lot of my recent stress and negativity, and it feels really, REALLY good to know that I'm starting to get my body back towards normal. Not being able to work out the way I want to has taken a huge toll on my well-being, as of late. Before starting treatment, I'd actually gotten to the point where I couldn't do a few lousy jumping jacks without my knee hurting. Things are looking up!
Oh, and I kid you not, I even saw a rainbow during the first 5 minutes of my run yesterday. Coincidence? I think not. ;)
