I am training for a marathon, and during my last couple long runs I've been getting a pain in my 2nd toe. It's basically on the under side of the toe, where the toe attaches to the foot. It feels like something (tendon, something?) is being pulled really tight, and kind-of creates a burning sensation. I ran 13 miles today and started feeling it about mile 5 or so. it still feels a little sore now. I was just wondering if anyone else has had anything like this or knew what it was.
Sounds like gout! Lay off the protein shakes.
Sounds like metatarsalgia. i had a bout with it last month. New shoes helped (mine were pretty worn) as well as icing and a few days off (pool running). check the link below for more info.
i had this as well and if you don't lay off and follow instructions on the icing and stretching - it will get really worse REALLY FAST.

Thanks for the link. That might be it. My shoes are fairly new, so that shouldn't be a problem. My marathon is in 2 weeks, so I don't have any real long runs left. I'll keep icing it and see if that helps. Hopefully it'll be ok for the marathon.
