Well i decided to give my feet a rest all through january and start back up running again from stratch in my Vibrams, canceled all races and focused on enjoying running again...
So started off with 1mile run 2x a week, sore calfs but no shin splints (yay!), a slight niggle in the arch didnt think much of it. carried doing this distance for about 2/3 weeks untill i would have no arch pain or sore calfs for more than a day after the run...
Upped the millage to 2 miles, 2x a week....this is when i started to get some arch pain in my right foot, it would niggle me for the day and then the next it would be better and i wouldnt feel it. Been for another run on sunday and now its abit swollen, but its more on my right foot, this pic below shows the area when its hurting..

As im quite flat footed am i rushing it abit to much and should stick to 1 mile untill i have no pain whatsoever before moving up a notch?
