Oh my gosh, I am so thankful for your response! I am going to keep it and review from time to time.

I had a terrible run today, had to quit after just 2k and was nearly in tears from the pain as I hobbled off of the trail. There was no way that I could finish the three miles that the coach had on my agenda.

So, I went into the gym and did twenty minutes of stair climbing and thirty minutes on the elliptical. The pain was completely gone by the time I finished on the elliptical, so I decided to see how a run would feel on a treadmill...I never said I was very smart! I just wanted to see if having warm muscles and a more forgiving platform would help. I managed to get through two miles with moderate pain, but once I stepped off the treadmill I was once again hobbling! Oh, I also had arch support in my shoes today.

Thanks again for your help. I'll let you know if I do see a physician and what they say.
