Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis. After researching the Internet, that's what I think I have. I have the most common symptom - pain on the sole of the feet specially on the first steps in the morning after waking up.

I'm doing some of the treatments that I've gathered from the Internet:

I really hope it goes away really soon although from the stuff that I read on the Internet, Plantar Fasciitis takes months and even years to heal. Yikes!

I just hope it goes away soon.

My initial plan was to just run it as easy as one of my training runs but maybe because of the energy of the race and the crowd, I ran it a lot harder. I was spent at the end of the race. My heart monitor read only 17 seconds in Zone 1! Only 2 minutes in Zone 2! 5 minutes in Zone 3 and a whopping 38 minutes in Zone 4. Definitely a recipe for injuries and/or over-fatigue. I guess I'll just do races at most once a month or else I'll risk injury or over-fatigue. Aside from finishing, what's great is that I didn't re-injure my plantar fascia and even if I was really spent at the finish, I w...
