Checking in - Resurgence of PF

It's been over a year since I posted about my Mont Tremblant race.

I now have another bad case of Plantar Fasciitis and decided to go back to my earlier posts in this blog to see if I could learn something from my earlier experiences with this injury to see if I can accelerate the healing process.

I haven't been able to run for 2.5 months at this point and things don't seem to be getting better.

I haven't stopped riding my bike and I am wondering how much that is slowing the healing process.  Not sure I can give up riding - need it for mental stability!

I retired in March 2017 and started hiking the Appalachian trail with my wife.  We did almost 500 miles this year.  When I wasn't hiking on the trail, I was running and riding at home.  I really should have given my poor feet a break.

I got an MRI and it doesn't look good.

I've reviewed my notes from my earlier self and have been doing much of those things already (in fact, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish Mont Tremblant if I hadn't).  However, there are a couple of things that I don't think I mentioned in my earlier blog that will probably help:
- stop cycling and wear a boot for a month
- then start strength training the foot

I think I was trying to skip the healing process before I began the strengthening process.  We'll see how it goes.

Oh yeah, my new blog for my wife and I is: https://wordpress.com/stats/day/jesseandsena.wordpress.com
