I would never do any barefoot work if my foot hurt... only if it was pain free (it would often hurt more the morning after, for a while). The key was to only do the barefoot stuff when it wasn't acutely sore.
If you want to continue running while you deal with PF, slow your runs way down.... the harder you run the more it's going to aggravate the plantar fascia. If you just have to do speed work or run a race, warm up with 3-5 miles of slow jogging to help stretch it out.
