5 miles at 5am before work-- easy pace 8:05 (last mile 7:35).  Left leg and foot a real bugger thru the run and at work-- something is wrong with the nerves and vessels (blood supply).  I noticed a couple months ago that my feet turn dark puple if I sit forward while typing on the computer.  Also several knew large veins have developed on my left ankle.  I am wondering if this is contributing to my foot pain-- less blood flow to fascia-- chronic PF.  My entire foot is having numbness, burning and shooting pain up the toes.  It even extends up my lower leg.  I have a dull ache in my left back (sciatica???).  It is pretty painful.    If I elevate my foot for a time the pain is much improved when I start walking again.
