TC 10-miler completed…injury free!
Just an update to yesterday’s post: I ran and finished the Twin Cities Marathon 10-miler today. My feet held out and no heel pain occurred. Yes! This was my 5th TC 10-miler, but my first after wrestling with and beating a bad case of plantar fasciitis.
Just a couple of years ago I limped and winced with the condition, and thought I might never run a city block again. Since then, I’ve run maybe 10 or 11 races, and have had no recurrence of the heel agony. So, if you currently suffer from plantar fasciitis, know that there’s hope! I’ve never had any surgery, shots, or ultrasound therapy of any kind. Just a regular routine of conservative, active recovery activities and a readjustment from the abuse I used to subject my feet to. I detail them in my book Injury Afoot, and I’ll be discussing them here. If I can do it, so can you!
