Pain in the Back

Woke up this morning with a sore back, but still dragged myself out of bed at 8am for a run. Slipped on the new shoes, CR cap and Garmy and was out the door on a glorious day, the plan was to do 10k but in all it was a shade under 11km. I started up very slow and gradually built up the pace despite feeling the niggles. After the run I stretched and put on the compression tights,

Edit: went to some open inspections of houses and ended the afternoon digging trenches for the footings of Miss Simlin's Sister's house. Needless to say my blistered hands are feeling a lot worse than my legs at this point, damn desk job.

Now as promised my new shoes.
