The pain is not there when I'm walking, only when I'm putting pressure on it when running. I wonder if it is a ligament thing or maybe a slight bone crack. Anyone felt this type of pain before?

Welcome to the ITB club. You'll be taking 3-6 weeks off. Probably closer to 6 since you're at the point where .25 miles ends your run. As goose said, we've had several good threads discussing the treatment. It's my curse and a frequent fight for me.
