@ddmom0811 thanks! I've been to the PT a couple of times and go again on Friday. He said he'll have me running pain free in no time, so he's now my new best friend.
I'm actually feeling better already. I hope you're feeling 100% soon. 0 -

Another suggestion - toe raises, either on one foot at a time or both.jessupbrady wrote: »HealthyFocused715 wrote: »
Have you tried putting a towel on the floor and then scrunching your toes in it? I know that sounds weird but it's supposed to help!
Thanks for the suggestion, I will have to try that when I get home. I got this link from a response on my wall that I'm posting here for others who may want ideas.
Ice also helps, especially if you rub it along the painful area. It helps to reduce the inflammation.0 -

Rereading what I wrote I think it should probably say heel raises - not toe... it is where you raise up on your toes bringing your heels up off the ground...

Actually the toe raises got it better... The link I shared also had a couple extra good shin exercises.Rereading what I wrote I think it should probably say heel raises - not toe... it is where you raise up on your toes bringing your heels up off the ground...
Also, from P90x Stretch-X routine there is a routine with the foot held up and 8 toe raises are done in the air (straight leg) and circles with the ankle done (inward then outward). That also helped.

2/5/2015 - 4K. When I went out, it was 50F. When I came in it was 40F. . .I could've put on a jacket and pulled on another pair of leggings over my leggings, but I was sooo cold all I wanted was a hot cup of decaf and a steamy shower.
<======yes, I am a wimp who lives somewhere really warm.0 -
Did that 3k run and since then no runs. What with a blizzard. Now I'm on vacation and snowboarded for 4.5 hours yesterday. Feeling the burn.....lol

It would be lovely to not have my eyelashes freeze shut for a change.

A bonus at the end of my run today - the great blue herons are starting to nest. They build these huge nests in the tops of the trees near the river. No nests yet but they are in progress. Saw them flying over carrying reeds and then here just sitting in the tree.
Also in a further expression of how confused everything is with the weather here, my daffodils have bloomed!0
