Marathoner's sharp twinge (6)

I believe the answer is:

stitch

(Other definitions for stitch that I've seen before include "A sewer may produce such" , "Sewing loop and sharp pain in the side" , "repair" , "One in time is said to save nine" , "Tack; pain in side" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
