Left ankle hurts pretty bad.  I cut a section out of my shoe because it is bumping against my ankle.  This seems to help and should allow it to heal.  Ran the first 3 miles at an easy pace then ran a 3 mile tempo run.  Splits were: 6:25, 6:20, 6:20.  It was slightly downhill so it was probably equivalent to 6:30/mile.  Felt alright but started to fatigue towards the end.  Finished with one easy mile.

Total Time: 51:05

Be careful Andy, don't rush into workouts too soon. It takes up to 3 weeks for your body to fully recover after a marathon. You may feel fine on the surface, but there is still healing taking place on a cellular level and injury risk is exceptionally high now. What's the rush? Give yourself a chance to rebuild. I'm on a 3 week recovery schedule, although I feel okay. By the end of next week I should be back to my pre-marathon mileage, but no workouts yet, all easy miles.

I didn't feel as though 3 miles at LT was overdoing it. I just needed some quicker miles (more mentally than anything else). I'm still holding my weekly mileage low (probably won't get over 50 this week). I have a 1/2 marathon in 4 weeks and I want to get some faster mileage in to allow my body to acclimate to a quicker pace.

I've had good results hitting it hard after a marathon. But I've also overdone it a few times. I think it is OK to train hard after a marathon as long as you feel good and are not forcing it.
