I was off to a good rebuilding start with the new gym at work (that’s its own story soon) and then boom, ouch! My right foot acted up. It felt like I stepped on caltrops; I don’t know this from experience, I’ve never lived in the Middle Ages, I just imagine stepping on those sharp buggers would hurt along those lines.
Thanks to Somara’s Google Fu, it’s only good ol’ plantir fasciitis. In English, it’s some kind of contraction/stretching thing. The cure is a brace and wearing my non-stylish running shoes most of the day because they have arch support. I also found the stair master being an interim exercise contributing to the faster recovery. How? It stretches my right foot more.
I think I’ll be running not he treadmill again Saturday.
