    @brendagaudette ugh, isn't plantar fasciitis the worst? I was laid up for months until I discovered trigger point therapy. I'm in no hurry to need TP for that again which is why I refuse to run or even jog until I'm closer to goal. So, will be a LONG time coming.

    Total sympathy for all plantar fasciitis sufferers. I had it 6 years ago, had to put many layers of foam in a pair of slippers just to get around the house. Makes one appreciate feet when they work well!!! I also appreciated the beauty of the workings of the foot when I broke my right foot and had to use crutches. Our bodies are so complicated and so wonderful when they work correctly.

    I also broke my ankle about 15 years ago and had to have surgery on it and was on crutches for a long time, that was a pain!!! :(

    I struggle with a morton's neuroma (swollen nerve) between my 3rd and 4th toe on my right foot and just general sensitivity on the balls of both feet (metetarsalgia). Feels like I'm walking on waded up socks a lot. I'm using wide toes shoes to try to fix that and also a little pad under ball of big toes to cause that part of the foot to strike the ground 1st and that has helped some. Injuries stink!

    I rebounded 5 minutes yesterday and 15 minutes today...15 minutes is enough for now and I will also walk 45 minutes either on my treadmill or outside depending on the weather

    While I'm rebounding I do jumping jack's, leg lifts and jump/twist...So far nothing hurts and can feel the muscles in my butt and stomach tightening while I'm jumping so hopefully it will make them firmer o:)

    Day 2 of water fast and I'm feeling really good and not hungry yet, probably because I'm drinking lots of water and chewing gum...I just did my 15 minutes of rebounding and a 45 minute walk outside :)
