Very Nice Six Mile Run

North St Paul Community Center, 6 miles in 52:48, pace 8:48. This was a “recovery” run after Sunday’s 8k race, and it went just fine. No pains of any kind. After the run I met with my personal trainer, who taught me a little about stretches and then set me up with a regimen of exercises to strengthen the bones in my back that are under attack by the myeloma. Tomorrow I’ll try those at home, and we’ll see whether I learned them or not.

Splits: 8:53, 8:48, 8:47, 8:50, 8:52, 8:38.
