Foot pain: running ?: Completing "two marathons a week apart" is generally not thought to be a healthy experience for your physical well being. A bruise on the under surface of your left foot or as mentioned a tendon injury should be evaluated via imaging studies to determine therapy. Get a referral to an orthopedic physician for evaluation.
