I Have Mild Plantar Faciitis

At least I hope it is mild. I noticed my heels were hitting the pavement while running downhill on Old Tale Rd. I had the classic plantar faciitus symptom of pain in my right heel when I got up after sitting for a while. I did not run the next day hoping that would ease the pain. I had almost no pain when I woke up two days later so I went for a short run with major changes. I wore my Nike Triax rather than my Lunar Elites, avoided Old Tale, stretched my Achilles, ran on dirt where possible and concentrated on landing on my forefoot rather than my heel. My calves now burn like they have absorbed the majority of the shock, unlike before I got the sore heel. No run tomorrow so hopefully I will heal some more.
