Sounds as if it could be your Achilles tendon.

I would not advise running until it is clear of any pain.

Do a search on the Internet for achilles pain and see whether the symptoms match yours and follow any self treatment that is recommended.

If it persists it is really worth visiting either your GP or a physio.
