Week 2: Keeping Up Some, Holding Back Other

Did a .5 mi session over the weekend.  Felt great.  The 4th toes, where I was getting some blisters previously, seem to be much improved.  I think the foot lift is getting much better.

I’m still struggling with heel pain post run – whether barefoot or with shoes.  I’ve decided to stop the shoe running and focus on strength training for the feet/ankles.  I’ll continue the .5 mi barefoot sessions – maybe trying 2x/wk.  The walks on the chip-seal road in front of my house are going well.  I think those help.  They’re also getting easier.  The feet are toughening up.

I’ve got to crack the code on why this heel is hurting.  Actually – I know why it’s hurting:  It’s a leftover from Plantar Fasciitis.  I guess what I really need to do is crack the code on how I get it better.
