I don’t have it. There was some rather attention getting heel pain going on. I went back to conventional running shoes, ramped back the mileage for two weeks, iced, stretched, massaged, rode a lot and ramped the mileage back up.
Fixed.
I hope.
Thank you guys for all the suggestions, resources and words of encouragement. I sincerely appreciate them.
So, what are you going to do with the Newtons?

Does anyone have any experience with the low level laser therapy outlined in this months Running magazine (Ryan Hall on the cover). I am very curious to see if this is a solid treatment or witch doctor medicine
Sorry…no experience with the laser but getting some good results with a PT using Astym…the protocol is a bit painful but seems to be helping me get over a pretty nasty case of PF. Also, you can run during treatment.
I got ASTYM on the achilles. Fun, isn’t it?
Nothing new. Portable low level laser units have been around for years. The newer units probably have a few more bells and whistles on them, but they’re likely not that much different. I got my first 15 yrs ago and used to stimulate accupuncture points and also used them on sports injuries such as plantar fasciitis. Once it broke I never got around to replacing it.
They worked as well as anything else. Seemed to help lots of patients but others didn’t respond as well. You can say the same thing about any other of the many therapies I learned/tried over 25 yrs of chiro practice. What works great for one patient may not be the same for the next one.
It’s all witch doctor medicine. 
So, what are you going to do with the Newtons?

Take a big,huge, giagantic, satisfying dump in them…then use them for yardwork.
Tom, that’s good news to hear, I scanned your post of a couple days ago regarding all the good training you were seeing around you for an update but found none. I’m glad that you are back on course for your IM in fine fettle.
Go to it.
