After my Phat Shirley ride, I was really (really!) worried again about the plantar fasciitis. The rest of the evening my heel hurt to put any weight on it. I cursed myself for pushing harder than I needed and wearing minimal shoes on the bike. I decided not to wear cycling shoes because the shoe is so incredibly stiff. Anyway, I was afraid to get up the next morning, but miraculously...my heel didn't hurt anymore. Seriously.
Since then, I am up to about 30 calf raises at a time. I think today I will easily hit 100. I just returned from a family vacation at the beach. Our first day, we walked to a pier that ended up being 1.7 miles away...no wonder my kids were tired. They compared it to walking on a treadmill to nowhere. I'm still experiencing a lot of on and off swelling. It usually occurs in the evening and is gone the next morning. It does inhibit my flexibility. So I ice.
Some days, I really feel positive about running again...soon. Other days....
