Pain where my foot meets my leg on the front
 
Not sure what this is from. Usually the pain radiates up my leg, but since I've been going with incline rather than speed on my treadmill, I only feel the pain right at the crease where my foot meets my leg on the front. I get the same pain when I walk outside, so it's not the treadmill.

Any ideas?

Sounds to me like one of the many variations of shin splints! Here is a stretch that works wonders for me and (for friends that I have recommended it to). I learned it years ago in aerobics class - lay flat on your back with your legs straight up in the air, then flex your feet and then point your toes - do both feet at the same time then alternate feet, then hold them flexed, then hold them pointed. Do this for several 8 or so repetitions - works wonders!
