(ss4) Good Morning - 135x10; 135x10; 135x10
Trunk Twists(each side) - 50x10; 60x10; 60x10

All these exercises are new except the bench press and calf raise. This is the first time I have ever done a Back Squat or Good Morning. My form was a little questionable for the first 10 back squats, but the second two sets were better. I had someone watching my form, but I could tell the first 10 were awkward and after that they felt better.

For the good mornings, I'm not sure I have this one down yet. When I went down I had the weight resting on the back of my neck. It didn't seem like it was a good spot to be holding the weight. For people that do these, is that normal or should I be doing something differently?

I have a feeling I am going to be sore tomorrow.

Ran 7 miles on the treadmill; time 58:08.

Walked half a mile on the treadmill at a 10% incline wearing a 100 lb weighted vest.
 
When performing good mornings, the bar should be on the upper back. I rest it on my traps but I don't use heavy weight. Those that use heavier weight line the bar up with the shelf made by their rear delts. If the bar rolls to your neck, focus on holding it back more. Try to get your elbows to point at the ground, instead of behind you.
 
Thanks for the tips LeiYunFat. I will work on that next time I do them.
