I have been using a supracor pad for about 1 month.  Last weekend I did about 
24 miles, mostly walking from Foresthill to Deadwood. Her back looked fine at 
the end.  Yesterday I did between 25 and 30 miles in 7 hours (obviously not 
burning up the trail.  Her sweat pattern was great when I untacked and her back 
didn't seem sore.  However, later that evening she had small hard nodules on 
her back.  Seemed like little muscle knots, about an 1/8 inch wide.  I didn't 
notice them when I untacked but I could have missed them.  They didn't seem 
particularly tender and her back didn't seem sore.  She had them more on one 
side than the other and I switch diagonals frequently.  This morning they were 
almost gone on the side with fewer nodules but still on the other side.  Again, 
her back didn't seem tender and unless I really pressed the nodules they didn't 
seem tender.

Any thoughts? thanks
