Well I just recently starting working out again with all the free time I got. Recently though I've notice a problem when running after several minutes. Right around the 20min mark when my heart starts to race due to the jog, my back starts to hurt in a specific spot directly behind where my heart is/below my left should. I mean it's bareable, but does get annoying to the point where it cuts down on my jog. I was just wondering if that's a normal pain . Maybe I should see a doctor huh? I just wanted to see what all of you have to say about it.

Doesn't sound normal. Any pain you worry about , should be checked out by a proffesional.

If you can dream it, if you can imagine it, then you can be it, you can do it. If it is meaningful enough, and you commit the energy of your passion, you will.

you taking any caffine supplements?

wearing good shoes?
running flat footed?
surface is hard?

all of those might be a culprit, but i'd go see a doc still
