PM - got in 8 miles on a pleasant fall afternoon.  First 5 miles PF pain was about a 6.5 or 7; then it subsided to about a 2 or 3 on a scale of 10.  Better than yesterday.

AM - around 3.5 easy miles in the dark in some thick fog on the golf course this morning.   Literally could not see but 10 feet or so in front of me.  If I wasn't so familiar with the course and terrain - it may have been a bit scary.  

PM - 5 miles in the treadmill after work.

PM - lunchtime - 7 miles with a bit more effort than easy pace.  Was going over in my mind what may be the cause of the PF issues - (e.g. what am I doing differently, what am I not doing which I was doing before) and what I realized is that I had been routinely using a foam roller on both upper and lower legs after my runs - fairly consistently until the last couple of months - which is when the PF seems to have emerged.  So, I started foam rolling again yesterday and though it may be coincidental, I have significantly less discomfort in the left heel than before.  Could be that my calve muscles were just that tight and pulling on the plantar fascia.  Anyway, gonna resume the foam rolling for all its worth.

Decided to give the foot a rest and took the day off from running.  Took Finn on a 2 mile walk in the evening.

AM - 3.5 miles on the Milton Trail with Riley who is in town for the weekend and with Finn. Chilly Fall morning 39 degrees at the start.  I enjoy catching up with Riley on our runs together when she's home from school.
