    Yes it's ok to run. In fact, some people take too long of a break after a workout, waiting for the soreness to go away and mitigating their efforts. This is assuming this is soreness from a normal workout, nothing extreme. Running while sore won't cause you to lose muscles.

    All being sore means is that you have a buildup of lactic acid in your muscles from working them out. Running should not have any negative effects unless you are burning too many calories, which your body needs to maintain and build muscle. In fact, running actually helps break down lactic acid and helps reduce soreness! Basically, unless you are running a marathon everyday, you should be good.
