I'm sure I'm not the first to get blogger's block, and I'm sure I won't be the last. However, having finally dragged my fingers back to this particular keyboard, I have little to report on the running front. That is, I am still waiting for my foot to fix itself.
What has been happening is another physio session earlier this week and a further one booked for Monday coming. I noted the first session in my last post and was waiting for the post-massage pain to hit the following morning. Nothing. Not even a twinge. A strangely happy disappointment.
My last visit centred on a particular tendon - I think the posterior tibial tendon - which runs down the rear of the inside-knobbly-ankle-bone and supports the arch of the foot. This particular tendon got demonstrated by plucking it like a guitar string. I never knew it was there. There's some tendinitis in there so it's having some ultrasound therapy. I know ultrasound therapy is good, as it sorted out an Achilles tendon problem for me last year.
My 3 year old daughter continues to remind me every night to do my stretching, and I have a lot to do now, not just the calf and hams, but ankle ones too. Hopefully, only a couple of weeks until I'm able to start again - I'll be dressing for colder weather though!

Sounds like you're making good progress towards getting yourself well (nice to have a daughter remind you to stretch).
Keep us posted.
keep it up- I, too, am on an agressive stretching plan. My right IT band and hip flexor are like rocks!
