WTH!?! - This pain in my left heel is not good. Nope not at all. I've been nursing this thing since early April. I can't run as fast as before and I seem to be gaining weight? WTH!?! When will this pain depart me. I'm not a big fan but, it seems to love me. I've heard that Plantar Fasciitis is the singular worse thing that can happen to a runner and could potentially end a career.
I guess I could get on the elliptical machine for the next couple of weeks. I hate the idea of sitting in one spot building up a sweat doing some modified version of the moon walk. I'm not Michael Jackson for crying out loud. What other choices do I have?
Of course, I ran 6 miles this morning. I'd hardly call it running. It was more like hop along Cassidy but I pushed through it.
I'm using the tennis ball tonite to message the heel and foot tonite then I'm going out for a 5.5 miler tomorrow morning. Well see how it goes.
Discourse on running, fitness, healthy eating. May have long stories about all kinds of running gear like Garmin watches, running sleeves or just musings about what I find in the running community. Try to keep you guessing.

Did you know I had to deal with plantar's for a while? I became one with the frozen water bottle, massage, and Ibuprofen. Hang in there - it's a long recovery road, but you'll be fine. :-)
