My Left Foot - Not the movie!

I looked up "running foot injuries" on Google and found a great website http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_5/191.shtml that helped me figure out what was wrong with my foot. It turns out I have plantar fasciitis http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_5/191.shtml#plantar . It sure hurts. I think I will not run at all for a while and just walk or bike, at least until I think it is healed. It hurts like heck in the morning when I get up and after sitting for a while.
I am not able to watch my DVD of "Long Way Around". The DVD player is INOP. Just my luck.
Brennon is studying "Into the Wild" in one of his classes, as well as watching the "Man vs Wild" & "I Shouldn't be Alive". I think that is one of the more intelligent subjects his teacher has discussed with the kids. Of all places in the country a person would need the wilderness skills, it would be Alaska! I told Brennon one thing I learned that from the "Man vs. Wild" is that I should always carry a waterproof/windproof lighter or fire starter on my body when I am in the wild. That way if I get separated from my pack, I can at least start a fire.
I loved the last episode of "Man vs Wild". Nothing like watching someone else jump into icy water and biting the stomach out of a trout.
