At A&E the next day they x-rayed it and said it was strained, would be okay in 5 to 6 days. 3 weeks later still limping I got it x-rayed again, small stress fracture in 2nd metatarsal!

A week ago I did my second half marathon in them, and was doing well until mile 11, when I felt tired and decided to take them off. I've done this in training runs before, and it always gives me a little boost. I did the last two miles completely barefoot, and right after I finished, could not bear weight on my left foot. Second metatarsal stress fx, and I can see from this thread that I have a lot of company! Can't wait to hit the road in my VFFs again! And will keep trying to add in some barefoot. It's true, it's easier to get injured in a race, because there's so much more adrenaline and you push yourself to go as fast as you can.

In the course of a week I ran a training pace 20km on Monday, and on Sunday the same week I had a half marathon race, which I expected to finish in under 2 hours (first race ever, too). Around the 15th km I felt a sharp pain in my left foot, so I took off my huaraches (that's what I recently started using) and continued to run/walk barefoot through the pain. It turns out I broke my second metatarsal on my left foot. Now I'm in a cast for the next three weeks...So I think this is a sound explanation of what was going on. I feel that this has taught me a lesson in patience. The exact same thing happened to me.
