Have to baby-sit my plantar fasciitis for another 3 weeks, that is what my doc says. Consuming pills of Ibuprofen, to subside my inflammation, and no running is gone irritate me.
Reading the running posts, and updates on facebook and twitter, are most annoying and depressing, when you can’t hit the trail :(.
I cancelled my upcoming marathon for this, but it will be hard to cancel another one too.

Injury is so depressing that I run a day, and rest for next two days, further ensuring that I walk less. I have had IT band and knee injuries before, and they rehab process and keeping oneself away from the trails was so frustrating, when that is the thing you most badly want to do.
Biking/swimming/Gym cross workouts are some of the ways to avoid the body fitness level from going down.

Though I got a new pair of Asics, but the pain in the heels, early morning while getting out of the bed, is awful. Googled a bit, and found that it is called as Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar Fasciia is the connective tissue that runs from the heel to the base of the toes
Plantar Fasciitis, is a common form of injury among runners. It happens because of various reasons-
