Notes
Greer Earth Day Run 5K - I was suppose to run the half marathon but ended up hurting my back yesterday morning so I did the 5K instead. I arrived about 45 mins before the start and spent most of that time stretching since standing around getting stiff wasn't an option. I lined up in the very back so it would force me to start out slow. There was some pain at first which almost had me regretting my decision to even run but then around a 1/2 mile, things started loosening up. I felt pretty good at that point and was able to keep a great pace until about 1.75 miles when I started to feel a twinge in my back. I walked for a good bit during that last mile but that's because it was mostly uphill (not steep but enough to feel it in my back). With the last quarter mile downhill, I was able to finish strong and pain free. Plus it ended up being my 2nd fastest 5K and to think I only ran this at around 70% effort.
