My .02 cents.
I've had Plantar Fascitis for several years now. It comes and goes in severity depending on how much I'm pounding the pavement. At it's worst I've been able to lower the pain/discomfort level considerably by stretching at night before going to bed. This helps probably more than anything else when I first get up in the morning.

I've also all but eliminated running from my normal PT activities. I walk and bike normally now for cardio and it's made a world of difference.

This was probably the best advice for dealing with it over the long haul..."one just decides what one can endure and drives on."
