I TOTALLY overestimated my abilities annnnnnd now I can barely walk (facepalm) yesterday was worse, today is a little better. Should I start running again before the pain goes away. I am training for my very first 5k and I am so nervous about backsliding. I was trying to push my body further and at this point I'm pretty sure it is pushing back!!!

Are you following a training program, such as C25K? It'll help you train and keep you injury free.
I would wait another day or two until the pain is gone (or almost gone) and then try running again but taking it easier. Taking a few days off won't cause a backslide (been there; done that; didn't happen).

If you're sore enough that the pain is preventing you from proper movement, then you should wait.0
