I just received a valuable piece of information from my friend, Lisa, in the form of a link to an article that stated the following: "Heel pain from plantar fasciitis is another common complaint among those taking statin drugs. One correspondent reported the onset of pain in the feet shortly after beginning statin treatment. ... Read more

Our research on the human disease, so-called (mistakenly) plantar fasciitis, continues, resulting in data sets that are helping us to make sense of why some treatments work sometimes in some people, and why some people never seem to be able to escape this horrible condition.

I Hope I Live To Sustain A Lot More Injuries, And Make A Couple More Enemies, At Least!
If you haven't sustained some injuries, or made a few enemies, you've never lived. If we learn from our injuries, I must be fairly wise, based on my map, above, though not as wise as Evel Knieval (yes, EVEL, never knew that), I'm sure. As I prepare, mainly mentally, for another trip around the sun, I, like my old Chevy truck (approaching 360,000 miles, and don't tell me my old truck doesn't, in her own way), reflect ... Read more
Inspiring Elderly Exercise Before You Develop An Elderly Demeanor
Inspiring elderly exercise, with an emphasis on body awareness, preferably before you become elderly in your demeanor, is one of FitOldDog's major goals for his readers. Many of my teachers, and some peers, have died already, and other peers are on the way out, but the ones that drive me crazy are the people who could, with a little effort, become so much more active, instead of walking with baby steps.

Balancing Your Inner And Outer Journeys, A Key To Successful Aging And Lifelong Endurance Training
Inner Journey Body Meditation by FitOldDog: sit cross-legged and interlace your fingers. Fine!

You'll discover areas of tightness in your body you never knew were there, and they'll melt ... Read more
Treatment For Plantar Fasciitis
I think that I am correct in saying that no-one, absolutely no-one, really understands so-called plantar fasciitis (fasciosis?). Plantar fasciitis isn't a condition, it's a complex of different conditions, leading to similar symptoms. Some things are known about this painful condition, but there are many different treatments, some of which work for some people and some of which work ... Read more
You Can’t Have Someone Else’s Epiphanies For Them, Which Certainly Applies To Body Awareness
Hi folks! Thanks for stopping by! We recently held a body awareness workshop ('Run Smarter'), in which I got to witness people saying, "Oh! Yes! That feels completely different." The one-day class was designed to help people move more easily and efficiently through improved understanding of how their bodies move and feel. There was some stress on running, which is very injury prone if you have poor ... Read more
