Thanks for all the advice.
I skipped todays race and may rest tomorrow as well. Foot is improving so tomorrow may happen yet but I want to make sure I am at the line on May 2nd so I am being sensible.

My foot is feeling a good bit better now and I am thinking about 30 mins easy tonight on grass. If things don't work out I will just stop and go for a cycle.
Thinking about a physio visit if the run does not work out although there is no tenderness on my foot to point too.

if there was inflamation it should have subsided after 3 days
keep us informed and then we can look further into things
did you dig your old innersole out the bin

Yes, the old insole is in the new shoes
Unfortunately my foot was still annoying me today when I tried an easy run. Seem to be on the push off when the toes are fully bent. No tenderness to touch in the foot area. I am icing it tonight and seeing how that goes. I did a 12k cycle instead.
Could I replace running with cycling until the weekend in order to see if my foot will recover if no change by Wed I will go to my physio.
I can only do Gym tomorrow for 40 mins, Wednesday I have all evening and Thursday again 40mins indoors. Could you suggest some bike sessions that might benefit my training and let me maintain the work done? :mmm:

do the cycling and I shall look further into the treatment of the area
to hazard a guess, it sounds somewhat like Neuroma (time for another article) however as I can't analyse it in person it is tough to call

That makes sense alright. Had a little look around with our friend called 'Google'. Going to go to the Physio today for a professional opinion. No exterior tenderness though. Hopefully a week and I will have recovered.

30 mins on the bike at a testing effort but not too hard. No soreness in foot cycling just when I walk.
Going to the physio tonight for a professional opinion.

Well sir you were correct. Looks like I have the early stages of Mortons Neuroma. Most likely cause of this may been wearing my runners too tight as I dont have any issues with pronation etc. on that foot. I am going to rest up for 6-days and see the Physio on monday. In the meantime I have an exercise I can do to strengthen muscle in the top of my foot and he added a gel pad to my insole inorder to spread the bones in my feet a bit sio they dont irritate the swollen nerve. Plenty of icing as well. The worst case scenario he hoped would be 3 weeks but he feels mine is quite early stages and other patients he has seen would have hopped off the table when he squeezed their foot. I am going to continue the cycling as well.
