Most people would expect that after 4 days off (quite a lot for me), I'd be at about optimal condition, rested and ready to go, but often I find that I run best on the second or third day in a row. I think this is because 1. my muscles know what to expect (both the speed and the effort required) if I ran in the few days before and 2. my legs aren't as stiff and my overall motion is a lot smoother.
So, after 4 days rest, stiff legs today that took about 20mins to thaw out, and as I was heading for home, I felt a small knot developing at the base of my skull... not more neck pain! Fingers crossed.

A little village just off the main road
A truck carrying reo
A panorama of Tseng Lan Shue
The newly constructed village headquarters building in Pik Shui Sun Tseun celebrates Christmas (sort of)
The actual run wasn't too bad, just so hoping that my mild neck discomfort won't develop into something more serious again!
Really hoping to see you out on the trails,
