A 22 year-old woman presents with heel pain that is excruciating when she first steps out of bed in the morning

and is also present after periods of sitting in class or studing at her desk. Activity seems to make the pain better. She is a long distance runner with the cross-country team and has little to no discomfort during her daily runs. On examination, her feet appear normal, but she has point tenderness on the pad of her heel at the calcaneal tubercle. Her pain worsens as you dorsiflex her foot and extend her great toes. What is the most likely cause of her pain?
