Walk it off?

I started the 10k program and before finishing week two I felt some pain on the outer side of my left foot so I decided to stop before it got worse. The paincontinued for a few days and I was worried I might have a serious problem (although there was no inflammation or bruising)

The pain wasn't terrible (3/10) and it only hurt when I put weight on it. A few days later I had to walk a lot around town running errands and it began hurting a lot but by the time I got home I felt no pain whatsoever.

The next morning I woke up with some pain and after walking around it stopped again.

Has that ever happened to you? Should I be concerned? I really want to get back to running because I was really enjoying it but I don't want to get injured.

obviously we cannot (and we should not) to make medical diagnosis. The pain is part of making your body to do what it was not doing for years.

But persistent pain should be taking seriously. Try to take extra easy exercises and slowly increase them. If the pain will come back - talk to your doctor. Internet is full of advises but you should not trust them (of course,  my advise is exception  :D )
