[pct-l] plantar fasciitis experiences

[patrickmcjunkin at yahoo.com (Patrick McJunkin)]

Hello all,
 
In stepping up conditioning for an upcoming Ashland - Mt. Hood PCT hike, I've managed to moderately aggravate my plantar fasciitis from two years ago.  A couple of days of rest, stretching, and ice have helped, but of course I'm thinking ahead for the possibility it may get really aggravated on the trail.  
 
Anyone have any experiences to share regarding toughing out a long trip w/this condition, methods used, etc?  I obviously don't want to give up on months of planning, dehydrating, training, dreaming, and so forth over this.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Patrick

By the way, thanks to all who responded with stove gas mailing tips - I sent off my canisters parcel post yesterday, fingers crossed.
