A good friend is loaning me some tools that are supposed to help me with this issue. I have had this before and it is a side effect for runners. Doesn’t hurt at all while running, only after being off my feet for an extended time.

Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the fibrous tissue (plantar fascia) along the bottom of your foot that connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis can cause intense heel pain.
Plantar fasciitis (PLAN-tur fas-e-I-tis) is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, which runs across the bottom of your foot — connecting your heel bone to your toes.
Plantar fasciitis causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning. Once your foot limbers up, the pain of plantar fasciitis normally decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing or after getting up from a seated position.
Plantar fasciitis is particularly common in runners. People who are overweight, women who are pregnant and those who wear shoes with inadequate support are at a higher risk of plantar fasciitis.
I have been running, jogging, slogging since 1962 when almost drafted for Berlin/Cuba crises. So, enlisted in Army and, in New Jersey we ran from the barracks to the rifle range. Just never stopped. Now, almost 70, the old body says, slow a little. Hey, maybe God wants less training hours and more __________ (you fill in the blank, only you and God know)
My invoice for $100 of consulting fee will be along – not – I’ll just donate to UMCOR in honor of you trying to keep healthy, taking care of the temple. :o)
Thanks Dave
