For the first pond run of 2014 I feel I did great. For most of it I was ahead of my friends for a while. I ran it all at a faster pace then previous runs, which I am very proud of. I was extremely sore the next day even after stretching. Maybe I should stretch more or do different stretches. During the run my body was trying to make me go slower than I was going, and one time it almost succeeded but I kept pressing on. I wasn't even a bit let down by my performance.

The pain in your upper back is probably and intercostal muscle cramp caused but a lack of oxygen to that muscle because you are wiring so hard.
