AM - 2 miles of jogging on the golf course before work followed by some indoor rowing. Spent a good while doing self massage and trigger point release of the peroneal muscles on the anterior and lateral side of my lower leg yesterday - which remarkably resulted in a significant decrease in pain and discomfort in the foot where the peroneal brevis and peroneal tertius tendons meet at the stylus of the 5th metatarsal. Good enough to try a run this morning even. Did some stretching of the peroneal muscles before going out and fair amount of foam rolling after I finished. Fingers crossed - I am on the mend.

Do you walk around the house barefoot?

Every once in a while I tweak my peroneal tendon and on pushoff it basically feels very unstable (not quite pain but discomfort). I have no idea if it is the same tendon or not (lateral side just forward of the heel, just under the foot). I wear a pair of Keen sandals that have a very firm sole.

No I don't usually walk barefoot around the house. I don't know the reason for the issue - it seems better if I stretch and do trigger point release massage of the peroneal muscles and rest. It is behaving like plantar fasciitis in the sense that it is frustrating and annoying. The area you described is close to where mine is - lateral side of the foot near and above the styloid process of the 5th metatarsal where the two peroneal tendons meet.
