Why do my feet hurt when I run? Why do my quads cramp up? Why do my calves ache? Is this normal? I stretch before I go out...

I feel like this is a stupid question, but am I doing something wrong???
You should check your shoes. Are they meant for running? If you're shoes are too old, the rubber could have hardened. You need to replace your shoes. It could also be due to your gait or the arch in your foot. Or an old foot injury. If you intend to run a lot more, I suggest you to see a doctor specializing in sports injuries.
