So at least now I know what the foot pain is all about - unfortunately it is Plantar Fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition caused by excessive wear to the plantar fascia of the foot. The pain usually is felt on the underside of the heel, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing.
Which I guess makes sense I had it really bad after both my last two longer runs, 10 miler and Half Marathon.
The pain has been driving me nuts first thing in the mornings too.
Now I am going to rest, ice and take Advil and hopefully be able to run again some shorter distances in the next few days.
