Subject: Trampoline - watch out!could this really be this simple? Here I am gradually increasing my running, have not had any injuries since I began last fall. (knock on wood). So a couple of weekends ago I set up a new trampoline I bought for the kiddies (ebay - what a deal). I was on it both days over this last weekend with them, then Sun afternoon I go for my run. I had heel pain. I immediately dreaded that it was the plantar fascitis I've read so much about. So I read this at heelspurs.com: Causes of heel pain include inadequate flexibility in the calf muscles, lack of arch support, being overweight, suddenly increasing activity, and spending too much time on the feet. I'm thinking/hoping/praying that my pain is simply from using/overusing unused muscles to display my mad trampoline skillz to my kids. Anyone else experience anything like this? Or am I just wishful thinking (about the pain, not my skillz)? |
