I'm not surprised your dealing with foot pain after such a long hike. Good for you going. Did you take any pics?

Thanks for that suggestion, Christina! I will try it. I definitely do need to do some kind of physical therapy, of sorts for that foot and heel. Luckily the pain mostly went away, after a rough night and morning with it.
You're right that the hike was a big culprit. Normally I mostly have the pain only immediately in the morning or after lounging. There seems to be a link between being in a horizontal position for a while (even on the couch) and then it hurting for a bit as I stand and walk. Then the pain goes away with just normal activity. It's worse walking barefooted than when in shoes. Only the heavier walking/hiking makes it hurt. I shouldn't diagnose myself, but
heel (plantar) fasciitis seems to have a 100% exact description of my issue.
I didn't really take any photos this weekend, except a selfie with my husband's friend's wife. She looks good in it, but I didn't photograph well.
