sometimes when i run 2-4 miles one of my arms starts to hurt really bad, around the shoulder blade area, it feels like a serious cramp or sharp pain and i have to stop running because of it. it goes away after walking a lap, but it is a major inconvenience. what causes this and how do i prevent it in the future?
it sometimes even alternates arms, i go easy on one arm and the other arm hurts. should i stop swinging my arms while i run and look like a fool?

Last Tuesday I’ve started my workout of:
running for an hour, or at least burning 300 calories or more before I stop.
4 different ab exercises on reps of 30 the first week, moved up to 40 at the beginning of this week.
(ab bicycle,crunches,reverse crunches,knee crunches(touch elbow to opposite knee))
Playing tennis for an hour and a half

Immediately, I’ve noticed my upper abs becoming really defined and firm, along with my obliques. My entire core is getting firmer, but what I’m really after is losing my tiny lower stomach fat. It’s a pinch but it’s so hard to get rid of. I can feel it burning during my ab workout, so I know I’m doing exercises that reach them but why is it not showing on the outside? I’ve already lost 3 pounds.

How can I reach that flat stomach before March 20th?
I don’t have access to a gym or weights. Just my body weight and a treadmill.

I’m 16, btw.
My diet is already good.
Dont drink pop, or eat sugary junk-cookies,cndy,etc.
Lots of protien, grains, fruits/veggies.

Thats not the issue here.

I’m a cross country runner, and today I did a long hour run. At the end of the run, my elbow started to REALLY hurt. After I finished running, my elbow was so sore that i could hardly bend it. Now, when ever i move my elbow it is very sore and i can’t pick anything heavy up. Is this from running? is my elbow possibly broken?
