Side Pain while running????

Runners: I have a question. I was doing my normal little 30 minute 2:1 intervals when about 20 minutes into it I got a huge cramp like pain in my left side .... low by the pelvic bone and deep. I slowed down and started running like an old person with osteoporosis to finish. I think I ate too big of dinner and ran 1 hour after without giving digestion enough time. It didn't hurt as much when I quit running, but I still had discomfort in the area. Weird to say that It might have been like a "gas" cramp. Ever experienced anything like this before? Whatever I did I do not want to do again, so just curious.

Sounds like a side stitch. Don't eat anything heavy within two hours of your run. Also focus on your breathing. See here:
