THANKS everyone! Really, really fabulous advice. I've been doing it all - stretching, icing, inserts, and well, it's working!!! I'm pretty much painfree now, but the real test will be a weeklong convention in a week. I've never survived that when going in 100%, so this will be interesting. Screw the pretty fancy shoes, I'm packing my sneakers and inserts!!! Keep your fingers crossed I come home okay from that!
