I tried to do some sleuthing before i posted to see if anyone else was having this issue but didn't come up with anything.
I'm running 3 miles consistently, about 3 times/week and my feet are feeling good for the most part. My ankles are tight when i first start out and it takes me a good 1/3 -1/2 a mile for them to loosen up.
The problem that I am having is that I am getting an almost charlie-horse type pain on the front of my ankle in the middle of the night. It's not every night and not always the day i run but every few nights I move my foot in the wrong direction and my ankle (front, where it hits top of foot, slightly more towards the inside, but sometimes towards the outside too) starts to REALLY hurt, like i've twisted it. I'm able to get up and walk for a minute and its fine and doesnt seem to hurt in the morning, and again, walking and running seem to be fine, except for a little tightness at the beginning of a run...
I've had pain in all the conceivable parts of the foot so far in my barefoot training but then it seems to go away once my foot gets used to it. So i'm just wondering if this too shall pass? or if i may have something to worry about?
