Pain when running

[missEms]

I am 21 and i am not the fittest person ever, but i am not awful, i have recently started running again (as the weather is nicer) and i have found that after a shorter and shorter length i time i start to get a stabbing pain in the right side abdomen area, once i stop running then the pain stops but as soon as i start again it comes back. I am easing myself back into running quite slowing i don't run too fast but the pain is really starting to get annoying. It doesn't feel like a stitch as i can normally run through them without much trouble but this new pain means i have to stop, i think if i carried on through it i may fall over :s. Any help or ideas as to what this could be would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't that referred to as 'side stitches'?  You are most likely pushing yourself more than what your body is ready for.  I hear of many people complaining of that after running and not being in shape yet.  You need work up to your speed and distance gradually.

Try Zumba

are you stretching before you run? that sounds like you might be tugging at a muscle that's not so warmed up yet...
