Hello, I am a 33 yo female runner, at currently about 25mpw. I was working my mileage back up to where I like it for the spring, trying to increase distance at 10%ish per week, but I probably got a little aggressive with a couple of my more recent long runs in terms of speed increases. Over the last week I've started having pain on impact on my left big toe. It is on the top of the toe, between the metatarsal head and the smaller joint on the big toe. It hurts when I run but not so much when I walk. If I press on the top of my toe on the bone, in between the metatarsal head and the joint (the toe 'knuckle' I guess you could say), I can find a tender spot, as well as slightly to the left of the bone (in between the big toe and 2nd toe). There's no pain on the ball of my foot or under my toe, nor on the metatarsal behind the toe on my foot. It's pretty localized to the top of the big toe, but not the tip.
