Running and Cramps

I have been running for about a year now. I run 5k 3 days a week. I usually get a cramp in my right upper ab area after about 10 min of running and it lasts for about 10 min. Sometimes it hurts so bad I want to quit running, most of the time it is just very uncomfortable.
Why do I get these and is there something I can do to stop it?
Thanks

How is your breathing? Sometimes I get those side aches when I am not hydrated enough or my breathing is off. Can you stop and take some deep breaths and do some side stretches?0

Might be what is sometimes called "a stitch". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_stitch0
