Six-pace much the richer

This morning's six-miler went pretty smoothly. I was the only one who ran the full six miles. On the heels of the SVM, everyone else either walked or ran halfway. I finished in 1:11:22, an 11:52/mile pace.

At this point in my recovery it was the perfect distance. My knee never got stiff or painful, although it did feel a little tense the last two miles. I did a two-minute stretch as a precaution around mile 4.2. Even though my muscles never felt painful, they still let me know that I need to keep them loose between now and race day. There's definitely more yoga in my future.
