The rest did me some good

I ran today feeling pretty well after a few days off. I was short on time so I opted for the lesser of two distances this week. I laced up and headed out into the impending wind storm. My first few km were easy running and quick, feeling as good as I did. By km 6 it was reality check time as my fitness isn't in top form currently and I felt heavy with the pain in my back hinting at making an appearance. I tried to adjust my posture to combat it to see if that would help but nothing so far. By 10k I had settled into a manageable pace and just kept strong to finish. Toward the end I felt better. My pacing was quite eratic today, and I didn't notice it too much, I suppose I was concentrating on my stride and trying to keep my back from hurting. But I had large fluctuations in time between km's especially in the last 4. I will stretch through the evening and see how I feel tomorrow. 1:13:26 ~ 14.3km, 5:08 per km.
