Last proper run was a lunchtime 5k on Sep 19th.
Still playing almost 2 hours of 5-a-side a week but my feet/ankles are a complete mess.
It started with a couple of 50:50 challenges at 5-a-side on the evening of the 19th. Nothing malicious in them, just a couple of times I kicked the ball (right footed) at the same time as one of the opposition. My foot hurt after the game, sharp pain around the base of the big toe (Dr Google suggests it'll be something wrong with my sesamoid bones/tendons). Although the pain is sharp at times (when I push in certain places) it doesn't hurt like a fracture does (I've broken metatarsals in the past) so I'm guessing it's more tendon related than bone.
Of course I haven't gone to the doc or physio and I've continued to play. It doesn't stop me kicking the ball with that foot either, the discomfort is pretty much the same if I play with my left foot as my right foot becomes my standing foot when striking the ball which puts just similar (but different) stresses on it.
After games I'm limping a bit, and it definitely feels like I shouldn't be going out for a proper run, but a couple of days later (I play on a Tuesday and a Thursday) it's ok enough to consider playing again. However the time I can play before the discomfort comes back is getting shorter and shorter. I've also been compensating in my gait which is throwing up a whole load of other niggles (sore calf, sore heel in the other foot, etc).
I did also do a 7h cycle ride (first ride over 2 hours in over a year) last weekend, but that doesn't seem to have made anything any worse.
Luckily it's half term soon and I'll be on holiday in sunny Cornwall for a bit. No football for 12 days and no plans for any running, just some lovely walks (or the par 3 golf course with wife/daughter). If there's any discomfort at the end of the holiday then I'll book a physio appt and see what they say. I hate not playing/running but I know that it's not going to get any better (and could get considerably worse) if I don't get it looked at properly. More annoying because I rarely ever get injured enough to have to stop, I've been very lucky in that respect.
