I’m 7 weeks into a training plan for a marathon, no problems so far. But I’ve just been to Canada and ran away from a bear I woke up by accident ( extremely scary) so I don’t know whether I injured it then as I had a puncture wound on the inside of that ankle and had no idea I’d done it. (The ligaments in this ankle are pretty ruined as it is) 

Anyway I have pain between my 5th metatarsal and heel bone, which is pain wise ranges to ‘okay’ to excruciating and stabbing pain so much I can’t place the foot down. 

Should I see my GP in the morning?

I did run 2.5 miles yesterday with moderate pain, I kinda need to know how long I need to rest it for.

Anyone had a similar injury?

      Haha no biting, but it was sleeping in a tree in the woods and we ran through deep snow, over logs and uneven ground to get away, which is how I might of damaged my foot, who knows!!
