I have came up with the assumption from my own experience with plantar fasciitis that Prevention is a lot lot more better than the cure when it comes to this condition PF.

I am quite honestly sick of this plantar fasciits I got when I went running a few weeks ago now... well its is quite obvious that I would be quite sick of it who wouldn't be! I really should have known better not to go out running like I did with those pathetic rubbish flat insoles that do absolutely nothing to protect my feet. I really regret my rather reckless and silly attitude I had before that nothing seemed to hurt so I must be okay... I went running and in 30 minutes (But i think regularly irritating the plantar fasciitis and not running with the right insoles can over time cause damage which adds up and causes PF eventually) I went from being fine to having a pair of really inflamed pair of feet.. and one of my feet this inflammation did not go down.. due to the fact that I damaged the plantar fascia located under the arch that also supports the arch too.. too much pressure whilst I ran and because my arches didn't have any protection form shocks as my feet struck the ground and because they had enough and couldn't take the strain as well from my body weight they just went completely now I am here literally in pain weeks later just hoping to recover.. but I have heard horror stories that sometimes people can never recover but I think that in those situations that it is their own fault because they never fully recover and go out running or whatever with a torn plantar fascia and the inflammation simply comes back again. When I do get ready to run again and I have no idea when I will be able to again I will definitely be sure to  get some decent insoles at the very least.. but what is worrying me is the huge cost of custom ones... do I really need to spend so much for custom insoles... I will have to look into whether there are actually any cheaper alternative because do people really spend $200 on just a pair of insoles this cant be right and gotta be a overpriced scam right... runners sure dont get custom running shoes... so why custom insoles? What has really been a big help for me is the wps guide on PF on the wps site, there stance on whether you need custom insoles is basically you dont as it a better bet to go for some that actively adapts to changing shapes rather than some inserts that are just fixed and will not adapt or move at all which can actually do more harm than good.

Hopefully I want be suffering too long and nor will my friends be suffering from me constantly moaning all the time and complaining about it! I will let you know How I get on later on this blog! Bye for now.

I thought seeing as I wasn't to get health that I would post on this mini site about my health journey and what I am doing to get myself healthy again.. I made the decision to get healthy after being sick and tired of being so ill all the time.. having a bad knee and not being able to run around without getting out of breathe. So what I am I exactly going to do? Well after a reading a few things online about getting health I think the best thing for me to do is to start with exercise and eating right.. how ever exercise is pretty difficult for me at the moment seeing as my knee badly hurts all the time even just doing small tasks so I guess I will have to start small and work myself up. It probably is a good diet for my to start wearing knee supports as well Id think. I get easily distracted and dont really stick to things as I should so I have also decided to draw up a couple goal which I will stick to which wont be to massive as to be really bad if I dont make the goals but will hopefully be small enough and I will reward myself every time I achieve one which will hopefully keep me motivated for the long run!

Like I mentioned in ym last post the womens pro soccer league has ended so my hopes and dream of being a porffesional soccer player have been crushed then again I havnt played in a while and was getting to odl anyway to start pro lol so I dont think being a pro was ever on the cards anyway. I have been since looking at other soccer leagues and it seems the next big thing is the NWPSL...which is kind of stupid because they have just stuck national in front of the old name.... but its a different league run by different people.. but with a similar logo hmm If I was the owner of the WPS id sue them for that. Anyway it doesn't look as good as what the WPS was like but then again I haven't seen what been going on.. apparently they have had 1 season so far of this ne w league and will have a another one later this year so Il be sure to catch a few games and let you all know exactly what I think of it.. at the moment I am bit annoyed that they have decided to cancel the wps and replace it with this one.

When I was younger... well just a bit younger than I am at the moment I rmeber watching the WPS on tv it was a fantastic league however I haven't noticed it on tv for a long while which made me go on Wikipedia to look up what been happening and it seems that the womens pro soccer league has gone.. (nobody tells me anything) in other words it has folded.. which is a super shame. how I am I veer going to be a pro women soccer player there is no league anymore? I see the other newer leagues that have since taken its place but to me they are just really shallow and boring and dont offer the opportunities the WPS did.... I wish they bring back the wps! There website is still running though they just talk about news in the womens soccer world in general... Its actually quite a good website and I have joined it is kind of like a social network for womens football I suggest you join as well.
Getting healthy... How can I start getting healthy i have been asking myself these last couple days. I have been sitting around on my backside for quite sometime now not moving and not keeping active.. I think that I might go back into soccer again as I really enjoyed that and it is a shame since I left college that I stopped playing but I guess that there will be a few clubs that I can join somewhere..... hopefully! I think seeing as I have not practiced in a long time that I will be a tad rusty and will not be any good but I guess with practice I will be just as good as I have ever been!
