What Causes Pain In Foot?

I have had pain in my foot. It is towards the outside of my right foot above my two smallest toes. It hurts when I walk causing me to limp. I have had the pain for a week. I do run about 2x per week about 3-5 miles each time. I have not changed running shoes too recently and the pain came on without notice of any injury. In other words I woke up with the pain and it got worse. I do feel like the pain has reduced minimally over the past week.
