I'm not an expert, but what I usually do is take a day off, then run easy for the next couple of days.

Regarding the upper body soreness - maybe you were tense? I always try to consciously relax my shoulders, shake my arms, roll my head a little - I probably look crazy! But tension can build up in a race, and you'll run better if you eliminate it.

Good luck with the 10-k!
