How can you help ease the pain of plantar fasciitis?

I am training for a half-marathon, and my left foot is killing me from plantar fasciitis! I have been icing it every night, but I am afraid I'm going to have to give up running if it continues to get worse. Any suggestions?

AdminPerson 		Cross train with a recumbent bicycle, stretch/ice/ibuprofen(reasonable amounts). Increase strength of you whole leg. 3 months and you should be able to overcome. If it gets worse back off on the amount of running.

Moderator 		Your going to have to stay off it for a couple of days to give it rest or it will keep getting worse. I have had plantar fascitis and the doctor told me to get a drinking water bottle (the ones with the rings around the middle are best) Freeze water. Take for foot and roll it over the bottle back and forth. Another exercise is to keep your foot flat on the floor(I do this in the shower) move your foot like you are trying to grab something with it. Do you anyone that can wrap the arch of your foot for you that knows what they are doing?
My foot doctor gave me cortisone injections and then support wrapped it. If it doesn't get better you will need to see a podiatrist. Good luck
