Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

Ran six out of seven days this week and it mostly went well. Plantar fasciitis didn't get any worse, and was barely noticeable for several days.

I finally concluded I probably just have to replace my main pair of distance running shoes, which I've been hesitant to do since I felt like I've already spent a lot on gear and races lately. I'll see what the chiropractor I'm going to see tomorrow has to say...

Try Super Feet inserts (the orange ones). ~$50 USD. Cheaper than a pair of running shoes. Just take out the insoles in your current pair.

Interesting, I'll look into it! Do they help with support around the heel?

Yes, they saved my feet. I swear by them. The next best thing to getting custom $200+ orthotics from a foot doctor. I own several pairs. Even my casual shoes have them inside.
