Chaulk me up...

...for the Summer Of Pain.

Well, it looks like I may have just joined the posse. Last week my heel was hurting just a little bit when I rode. Nothing bad at all, and most of the time I didn't even notice it. After riding every night for 4 days or so it started to get worse, and now it's full on swelled up, throbbing pain status!

From what I've read on the internet it may be "PLANTAR FASCIITIS" which is where you get some tears in the tissue that connects to your heel bone. Apparently this can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months to properly heal. Not psyched. Oh yeah, and I don't get health insurance for another 2 months. Bummer.

So anyway, enough of my whining for today. Got some news? Send it in.

Here is some info I found on how to Run Track or maybe be able to Walk and Ride with PLANTAR FASCIITIS.
