Barefoot Running. Day 1. 200 Yards.
Posted by j.d. ruby
So… I’m still “plagued” by my plantar fascitis. Some days are better than others (waking up with a dull ache in my left heel) and some are worse (waking up with a full “zombie” limp)…
I’ve approached it from a number of angles: 1) Frozen Water Bottles, 2) Stretching, 3) NOT Stretching, 4) Warm then cold “baths” for my feet, 5) The Strassburg Sock (which does help quite a bit!), 6) “Trigger Point” (the brand of deep tissue massage tools), 7) Pilates, 8) Probably other things that I’ve forgotten…
But… it’s still here. Six months later I’m still dealing with plantar fascitis. I mean, SERIOUSLY! What’s going on here?
