I'm pretty happy about this run, though miles 7, 8 and 9 were a struggle and I made myself ease into an easier pace so I could finish.  At some point during mile 9 I popped into Family Video for a long drink of water.  After that I felt great. 

My last mile I pushed the pace.  It was definitely hard effort.  I wish that I had gone easy for the first 4 or 5, but it was hard to hold myself back in the beginning.  None of these felt really relaxed except the first, though none felt horrible.

My back was having some spasms after Sunday's run.  This (treadmill) run didn't feel right.  I didn't want to injure myself.

My back felt a little better today and I did this on the treadmill, which is always bad.

My back didn't feel great starting out today, but after about a half mile, it was pretty good.
