Day 2 of No Heel Pain

Today I am hopeful and VERY Optimistic the maybe, just maybe, plantar fasciitis is GONE.  For now anyway.

I did not have pain yesterday or yet today..and I don't plan to have any :).

I am going to meet up with my running group in the morning.  They will kick my ass and I will love it.

I am going to try so very hard NOT to take running for granted.  I need to remember to be so very thankful for the opportunity to run and for the ability to run.  I need to remember this when runs go well as well as when runs do not go as planned.  Probably especially when runs to not go as planned.

I need to remember that I am weeks behind in running fitness and that is OK, I do not need to kill myself trying to get back to where I was, it will come back soon enough.

I have been all over the place emotionally this week.  I started out the week (Sunday and Monday) having a really hard time preventing myself from slipping down the depression black hole over not being able to run.  I know it is a slippery slope and it is so very difficult to not listen to the lies it tells.
Tuesday I said F*CK IT and ran/walked a little over 4 miles.  I loved it and it did me a world of good mentally and let me know how really far I may have slipped in 6 weeks of not running.  It's ok, I know I will be back at some point.

Wednesday I had some pain but not too  much - I was totally willing to just accept that the little pain I felt might just be as good as it gets.  I also FINALLY talked to a Tri coach and have a meeting setup on Sunday for him to evaluate my swimming skills or, err, lack there of.

Random - I had 2 visual migraines on Thursday and 1 today.  It's been a long time since I had one and I do not remember having 2 in one day, ever.   Maybe related to the emotional roller coaster week?

This is similar to what happens to be during a visual migraine -
