Plantar Fasciitis


I have been having some pain in my feet for some time. After my run last week with the L.A. Leggers, I thought that I might have bruised my heel. But a couple of days later, I realized I was developing plantar fasciitis. I have heard of many runners getting this, and that it was painful, but I guess now it is my turn.

Plantar fasciitis is a swelling of the plantar fascia, a thick band that extends from the heal to the toes. At times, it feels as if someone is stabbing the heal of my left foot with a knife. This has made it hard to run and puts my training for the New York City Marathon and Ironman Arizona in jeopardy.

Stay tuned.
