Zeke and MaineRunner made some good points - to summarize: 1) motion control shoes 2) foot orthotics (Superfeet OTC or custom) 3) calf stretching 4) plantar fascia stretching (see MaineRunner's post - outstanding) 5) for your right foot, avoid running while facing traffic on a crowned road. 6) icing - MainerRunner mention a golf ball massage activity - I like taking a small plastic water bottle and freezing it - take the water/botle out of the freezer and roll your arch and/or heel back and forth on it 15-20 minutes, 3-4x/day (if possible) 7) tape suppport - I like using moleskin cut to fit the shape of my arch and heel, with some wrap around on the inner side of your arch. 8) use a night splint
