I read about all the stretches, ice massage, etc and it seems like the more stretching I do the worse it gets. I think I am over doing the treatments. In the last couple of days I have been resting my foot as much as possible, rolling a tennis ball and using moist heat. I really haven't seen too many places that suggest heat, but it seems to feel better to me than the ice. Anyone else use heat. I am suppose to be running in the Race for the Cure on Oct. 18, but right now I just hope I will be able to walk it. I am a 20 year breast cancer survivor, so it's really special to me. It's my first race and before my foot started acting up so much I was able to run a mile, walk a couple of minutes, run 1/2 mile walk a couple minutes, etc. My best time walk/running 3 miles was about 40 minutes. I was going to be very happy with that time since I only started running in June of this year. I want to be able to participate so bad. I have been raising money and talking about it to my friends and family, so I really want to do this. Sorry I got so long winded, but I really, really love running.
