I went for a run with my sister on Saturday and it acted up for some unknown reason. Then again, it was a different surface than I was used to running on, I had just started biking again the previous week after not doing any over the winter, I had been bad about stretching etc. for the preceding few days, and I had slept in an awkward position the night before that may have allowed things to get tight. So...the barefoot/minimal shoe thing helps, but it isn't a complete cure!
