This year has not been as good to me as 2008. My only major injury of the 2008 season was a severe twisted left ankle weeks before my half marathon. This year I've been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and it has really been slowing my running down. There are good and bad days. One day my heel will be fine, the next it is painful and throbbing. I ice, stretch and wear a boot (night splint) to bed to help my heel, but the pain just comes back.
An athletic trainer friend of mine asks for updates when I see her. She suggested maybe I stop running for a couple of weeks. I told her I couldn't. Me without running. I can't picture it. But maybe I should cut back my mileage again. I see the foot doctor again tomorrow for a checkup. I'm going to mention the pain and throbbing and see what he says. I hope it is good news.
