Time Off Heals Heels?

Posted by Steve Carton on Feb 15, 2008 3:03:14 PM

 

Well, it's been 8 days since my last run.  My knee was bothering me and so I decided to take time off to let it heal. It's better now, though it is still a little tender on the top of the knee cap (whatever that tendon is called).  Interestingly, my heels feel better too. I hadn't really noticed before, but my heels have been aching a bit. I've had an on-and-off problem with plantar faciitis for many years (like 20 or so) and the dull ache is barely above noise level anymore. So it was a surprise that they are feeling better too. It's not like I've done anything to make that problem go away.

 

 

I take fish oil capsules every day (y'know -- cause I love the aftertaste). And Glucosamine/Chondroitin. Maybe several years of that regimen has helped. Who knows.

 

 

16 days to the B&A marathon -- hope I'm ready...
