If you have to stop for a while it is far better than having a snapped Achilles. Massage would be good to relax the muscles surrounding those tendons and release some of the strain on them.

General treatment is ice, REST, protection (proper footwear ie good athletic shoes), and gentle stretching of the achilles tendon. It's from overuse or misuse, and to be safe it would definitely not be a bad idea to see a doctor. It sounds like tendinitis.
