I ran another 6.4 today after having done a 5.1 yesterday (followed by the gymn) and a 6.4 on Monday. I moved at a good pace today. It was 36 F outside, with gusts to 23 mph - giving a real feel of 21. At about mile 2.75 I got a sharp pain in my lower back. I had to slow down to a very light jog. I then concentrated on relaxing every muscle as I ran. Slowly but surely I was able to build up my speed. I was at normal pace by the time I got to the Mass Ave bridge, and I kept up a serious pace on the way home - hence the good time despite the slow down. It was definitely a little too cold for how I was dressed. I didn't have sweat pants on or a jacket - just the usual - which drew some comments. Two ladies as I passed them by - one said 'he is wearing shorts in this weather!' - I lifted both arms in a shrug and smiled at them - they both laughed :-)
