Answer 1

Your  body  is  telling  you  it's  injured .

Do   you  want  to  heal  or  compound  the  injury  ?

If   you're  masochistic ,  run  the  5K ,

Me ?   I'd  spend  the  day  resting ,  do  some  hot  tub  time  and  work  on  the  nutrition .   .  .

run do it i did it yester day and it was fun so go do it

Answer 8

I wouldn't take the day totally off, because i find soreness can carry over.  I'd go out for a light day, perhaps 20 or 30 minutes, and then stretch and ice a lot.  

Good luck!
