I've started to get a pain in my abdominals.  It is about one inch above my belly button and about 4-5inches to the left, almost by my oblique.  Could this be a hernia or an ab strain?  I did do abs yesterday.

Sure, it could be a hernia.  You can get a hernia ( generic term ) virtually anywhere, especially along the abdominal wall.  If this pain persists, you need to rule out any internal issues.  many organs refer pain the the area that you describe.  The pancreas and bladder are the two most frequent in the area you describe.  I would probably get that checked first, jsut to rule out anything that is potentially serious

Yeah its really not painful till I run.  When I'm just resting I have a weird discomfort, almost like it's spasiming.  It really doesn't hurt to turn either, mainly just sprinting
