^general rule of thumbs with running pains is that if you have two of something but only one hurts, its an injury... or an injury in the process of happening. So, unless you fell on it or something, its likely to be caused by something your body is doing, mechanically speaking, when you run.
The obvious thing to do would be to stop running and let it recover. But that's not always helpful, unless you simply ran too much, too soon, because it will probably just happen again when you resume running. So you may want to look into your running form, choice of shoes, and what kind of surface and terrain you're doing most of your running on.
Getting injured always sucked when I was running a lot. But it was also intellectually stimulating to troubleshoot the problem. Good luck!
Another rain day here. Friday isn't looking any better, but at least its been warm for a few days. On the other hand, the rain is supposed to finally let up on Saturday... but the temp will drop and we'll get some snow showers before the system finally leaves the area.
