Ah, the "pain in my heels". I ran myself into a case of plantar fasciitis about the beginning of 2019, tried to run through it, and lost about four months of running. I am still surprised that I was stupid enough to do this, having lost some weeks almost forty years ago to trying to run through a twinge in my knee. Now, back in the days when I was a decent recreational runner, there was seldom a race in which I didn't wonder, about 2/3 of the way through, what in the world had caused me to sign up, and didn't think that I really shouldn't do this again. I'm not really sure what learning was involved there--it was mostly I think stubbornness, being determined that I was going to have run part of the race and suffered the discomfort without finishing.
