Back towards normal

[batskeets]

I'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. ;)

I know life has been really hard lately, but I'm so glad you have a healthy outlet like running. I'm also glad your knee isn't killing you like it was. Way to go!

Yeah...what the heck happened with the whole dramatic text thing? Congrats on 2.5. I can barely run 1...

It hasn't completely resolved yet; I'm giving it a few more days of reflection. :)

Thanks hon :) It was really wearing me down not having training as an outlet for stress and frustration, so I'm really relieved that I can (gradually) start doing more things again. :D
