Answers:

If it really hurts you may have to take a break off running for a while to let it heal, the last thing you want to do is injure it more by working it too hard. It is very possible though that you could have just pulled a muscle or tenden which can last for a long time if you never give them time to heal. I do not think it is extremely serious but I would definatley let your parents know and get their oppinion.
