STOP!  I'm a track coach, and my philosophy is that if it hurts stop.  If I see them hobbling I tell them to quit.  Pain is there to warn us that something isn't right.  I tell the kids that it is better to miss a few days than a season.

Take a few days off.  Take ibuprofen twice a day.  Put ice on it.  You'll probably back to normal in a week or so.  If not seek medical care.

Hope you can get back on the "track".

PS.

If you are concerned about loosing conditioning I have my kids with some injuries to ride the stationary bike hard to maintain.
