I developed plantar fasciitis in both of my feet because of running in cheap shoes. I was newly married and had very little money. I bought a pair of sneakers at Walmart. They lacked arch support. I ran eight to ten miles nearly every day of the week. The bottoms of my feet eventually felt as if they were ripping open from the ball to the heel. I could barely walk. I had to give up running for several years. When I was finally able to afford inserts for my shoes, it was a big improvement. I learned how to properly stretch and warm up prior to a run. I also started utilizing cannabis, both as a painkiller and as an energy boost. Prior to setting out on a long run, I like to hit a vape. I choose a mild sativa strain with just enough THC to clear my head. All it takes is a couple of puffs, and the effects set in within a few minutes. I find that I am better motivated for the run. The cannabinoids work to alleviate the stress and help me to appreciate the scenery, fresh air and overall enjoyment of a run. The effects of a vape don’t last all that long, so I am clear-headed for the rest of the day. At night is when I typically suffer potential cramping in my calves and the pain of plantar fasciitis in my feet. Before bed, I massage a cannabis infused topical into my skin. I purchase ointments, roll-ons or lotions with high CBD and CBN content to treat the inflammation and pain. Topicals don’t cause any psychoactive effects, allowing me to apply them multiple times if necessary. If the discomfort is especially severe, I might eat gummy. The effects take a while to fully take effect, but edibles provide more intense and longer-lasting effects.
