Every time I go jogging (basically every day), I get this sharp pain at the very tip of my shoulder and lower left abdomen. Is this normal? I have been jogging 6 miles every day for four weeks now.

Tip of your right or left shoulder?

This could be as simple as dehydration. You should stay very well hydrated while running.

You say you are jogging 6 miles/day for 4 weeks, I am assuming you built up to this level of exercise? If not, you might want to back off and build up slowly.

I have a friend who is a sliver medalist in junior olympics, she is a distance runner and only runs 3 miles per day and has been doing so for 3 years. It took her a year to build up for this endurance. Now, she runs, not jogs, so that is a bit of a difference.

It's probably just dehydration. I actually just started running little by little and at first it would take me like one hour and twenty minutes, but I can now easily just jog it continuously without a problem.
