sore foot
Yay: I ran a half-marathon yesterday!
Boo: My right foot now hurts whenever something presses on the arch (e.g. wearing a shoe) or when I try to walk. Massaging the arch and stretching it have no discernible effect.
Question forrunners: do y'all have any advice on what might be causing this pain or how I can deal with it? Most importantly, if I ignore it and run through the pain for the first 10 minutes, will it go away and let me keep running?

The arch of the foot has all this connective tissue that can get inflamed and generally be a big pain in the butt. Or the foot. (Plantar fasciitis is an example of that, and I mean, that can hurt for months, apparently just out of general cussedness) So it's possible there's trauma there without you feeling any specific ow.
If it's hurting to walk on, I'd give it a couple of days, definitely not run on it, and see how it is. Ice probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Staying off it, too, as much as reasonable.
If it's still very sore in a couple of days and not getting better or not much, probably take it to the doc. If it's not, but running on it makes it come back just as much, ditto.
Hopefully taking a couple-three days off makes it feel all better, though. That would be the best thing. :)
