Tim, is being modest. There is actually footage shot of Tim getting told that news and the training leading up to it. Here

Only between trailheads. But, instead of blaming it on poor planning through lowland swampy areas we can save time and blame trail runners.

Here is one of the more straight foward articles I know of explaining the two and the symptoms. Just realize that "Morton's Neuroma" is referring to a more specified problem while "Metatarsaglia" is a more general term covering multiple symptoms referring to forefoot pain.
