I love the idea of wrighting up purchases and skills by considering their value in everyday life, especially compared to the alternatives. Recently, the same heuristic helped me to decide to upgrade my 5-year-old phone since it's a siginificant investment in my working from home. Also, learning to cook is absolutely a dividend-yielding investment! Love that!
Sorry to hear you've got plantar. Ouch!!! I got plantar when I started running. It was also linked up with some knee instability so the physio got me doing all the usual plantar stretches and exercises, as well as hip and hamstring stretches. The figure-4 stretch where you lie on your back, put one ankle on the opposite knee, link your arms around the not-crossed leg, and try to bring it as close to your chest as possible is excellent! Also, there's a YouTube channel called 'Upright Health' that has heaps of helpful videos for plantar/foot/leg stretches. Highly recommend!!
I love that stretch! I've been incorporating a few new ones into my routine to help with this one, and hopefully stave off future versions of the same (and other running-related ailments).
