Localized abdominal pain after a short run
I had gone on my first run in months last night, and aside from the expected soreness in the legs and calves, I've got a rather sensitive spot on my abs, about an inch down and left (from my perspective, looking down) of my navel. I wouldn't necessarily call it pain, just abnormally sensitive. The rest of my abs are slightly sore, nothing that like this little button of 'ow'.
Some background: I used to run pretty regularly, not marathon level, but upwards of 5 miles a day. Last night, I ran just over 2 miles at a slow pace of ~11 min / mi. Just trying to get my legs back under me.
Any ideas as to the cause of the pain?

I've had that pain, same spot you describe. Went to the doctor's several times, they didn't know anything, suggested I go to emerg the next time I got it, so I did. They didn't have a clue either.
My best guess is food stuck in the small intestine, as that's around where it has to go around a bend, and I don't experience it when I'm focusing on eating a lot of fiber.
