Went to Utah for five days of downhill skiing at the beginning of January. I have been having worsening PF for the last several months; bad enough that I was afraid it was going to derail my run plans for the year. On the plane ride out I mentioned to a friend who was flying with me about the PF. She told me that her PF had gone away in the past after a week of skiing and that she personally knew of two other people that had been "cured" of their PF after multi-day ski trips.
I was skeptical but it had gotten so bad that I was having pain with walking, running, moving.....
After day one of skiing, pain much better in my foot. Day two, better still. By day five, I was essentially pain free.
Flew back to Michigan and took two more days off from running and then got back to it. The headline is a little misleading because it isn't completely gone but 10 days of running since my ski trip and I am dramatically better than I was before. I am considering sleeping in my ski boots intermittently to try to continue my improvement (only slightly pink). I'm sure that will do wonders for my love life......
