Stomach crunches

Things went a lot better today. I managed just over 4 miles run in 39 minutes, average speed 9:28 minutes/mile. So the pace is OK, I still had a few back problems but found that if I squeezed my stomach muscles I could make it go away. My theory is that I had bad posture which is causing the back pains. My tummy is getting a lot smaller now which means I don't have to concentrate on holding it in so much,  which (I think) has resulted in relaxing my stomach muscles when I am running, this means my back muscles are working harder, which is causing the pain.

The run itself was fine, I had a little wobble at 2 miles but managed to talk myself out of turning off for a short run and was very glad I did. I think that the route I took today is going to be my default route and at 4.1 miles is just about right for me at the moment.
