“After a two-and-a-half-year battle with Plantar Fasciitis, I was finally pain-free and could run.”
It was October 2014 when I first experienced the most intense pain from my Plantar Fasciitis after I finished the Chicago marathon. Plantar Fasciitis is when the fascia that connects your heel to your toes becomes inflamed and causes intense pain in your foot.
Listen in as I share how I overcame this obstacle and was able to run again through therapy and treatment. Be sure to tune into the end where I share easy ways to combat Plantar Fasciitis and take preventive measures against other injuries.
Episode Highlights:
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Will you still be able to run again with plantar fasciitis?
My physical therapies and healing procedures that helped me recover from plantar fasciitis
Three tips to avoid or deal with plantar fasciitis
A person who sees obstacles as set-backs or a person who sees it as a necessary route to get to where God set you to be, which one are you? How do you treat your obstacles, set-backs, delays? How do you see beyond a devastating incident? How do you succeed in your life?

“I love running but I have a love-hate relationship with it because when I pick up speed, I get injured from either doing too much running, or doing too much speed and hill work.”
How much does it take to reach the finish line? When you love something so much but your body wants to quit, do you give up on it?
Being a hardcore lover of running, I will share how I started running from 3 miles to 5 miles until I first finished my first full marathon. As much as I wanted to keep on going, I started having injuries, so I had to undergo physical therapy, and had to preserve in order to reach my goals.
However, these physical struggles weren’t enough to stop me. My transition to triathlons started with a simple text from my Godson. I purchased a bike, joined a cycling club, and learned to love cycling. Next, I pursued swimming despite my great fear of drowning. Swimming lessons were certainly not easy. I worked hard with such self-determination.
In order to make it to my triathlon finish line, I had many struggles. It took a lot for me to reach every one of them and this episode is meant to inspire you to do whatever it takes to reach your finish line.
Never give up on anything that your heart beats for. If you have to be stubborn at something, you should be stubborn at fulfilling your goals. This episode is the perfect call you need to hear to keep you going.
