Notes

First 7 mile tempo run. I just focused on running smoothly and not straining to run a quick pace so I ended up a bit slower than the previous couple tempos but I did go an extra mile farther. The final mile was tough because it was a repeat of up-hill miles 1 and 4. Very pleased with this effort.

In other news, my back really hurt when I woke up. I don't know why and while it didn't hurt while I was running, it got right back to hurting when I got to work.

Nice workout Lane!

On the back pain, if it is your lower back it could be related to tight IT bands. I experienced something like this a few years ago. It took me a couple of weeks to figure out what it was, but once I identified the problem, I was able to fully recover within a week or so through stretching, rolling, and most importantly some strengthening exercises I found online. If you think this may be the problem, let me know and I can give you the exercises.

Is your work monitor at the right height. The top of your monitor should be at eye level when you're sitting up straight, if it's too low you'll hunch over, and that can put stress on your back.
