Waving the brown shirt today--looks like I've signed up with the Fasciitis-isti. Stretching the arch doesn't seem to help much, and since I've been running hills with few problems since I got back from Switzerland I'm betting it's the new shoes. Recommendations from the crowd for a new make&model (slight over-pronator) would be gratefully accepted. Seems to go away after the first mile or so, but I definitely feel it before and afterwards.
In a nod to orthopedic reality went a sludge-slow 8:45. Had planned to run Grand Forest, but after zestfully zipping around a couple of loops I realized that uneven ground and steep inclines probably weren't the best thing for the heel at this point, so did two laps around the Little League ballfield (poor first baseman totally botched a grounder as I rounded right field) and called it a night. |
