As hard as it is to actually do, staying off the running for a while right at the start of these things usually gets us up and running more quickly. <BR/><BR/>You've probably already done some research, but this is a pretty good article on the injury: http://www.time-to-run.com/injuries/thebig5/plantar.htm<BR/><BR/>So take some time off, do the stretches that are recommended, and hopefully you'll have a quick recovery! Something else that has helped me run after a year and a half off from ITBS is Chi-Running. Different biomechanics, and the only thing that has me running at this point. I've heard it helps with PF too. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597091135758312416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18216157.post-1161739526866033352006-10-24T18:25:00.000-07:002006-10-24T18:25:00.000-07:00glad you are OK! less running means more time to s...glad you are OK! less running means more time to study! Gotta take care of yourself or your running career will be cut short.<BR/><BR/>I've had that happen once when I was 16 and visiting my grandmother in the ICU. right around the time she asked my mom to ake her home so she could die. It was also about 100F outside and about 65F in the ICU... I managed to sit down before I passed out, but I never knew what it was.Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13689786471045817831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18216157.post-1161738412823315412006-10-24T18:06:00.000-07:002006-10-24T18:06:00.000-07:00Ooh, I'm glad you're okay.

Once I had a really close call with a semi on the interstate and it was kind of a panic reflex afterwards... I didn't mean to make it sound like I'm just driving around likely to pass out at any time!

I have reactions like that, most disturbingly when I'm driving and I get in a "near" accident. After reading the wikipedia entry, I'm a little concerned... I've only ever ALMOST lost consciousness, but actually losing it would not be good--for obvious reasons. Sorry to hear that you might have to take a break from running! I hope your foot heals quickly.<BR/><BR/>And good luck on your exams :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
