I ran 5 miles on the treadmill today, or almost that, while watching a few episodes of Big Bang Theory. It's a pretty good distraction while sweating indoors. I say that I almost ran the whole distance but about 4.5 miles into my right knee felt a little wobbly, so I walked for a minute and then started up again. When I was a tenth of a mile away from the end I had to stop and walk again. Nothing alarming but just some signals from my body that it wasn't necessarily worth potentially hurting myself to get the distance.
The plantar seems to be almost gone. The compression sock has worked magic and I haven't felt any pain in my feet for what seems like forever, even though I know it's only been a few weeks. I continue to wear the K-tape when running and that provides the support I need. Without these two remedies I don't know that the plantar would have gone away without staying off my feet for months. And judging by the lack of progress when I wasn't running that wasn't going to happen.
