Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 3 miles at a little slower than tempo pace.  Energy was low so I really couldn't get going as quickly as I wanted to.  Averaged 6:38/mile but it was more work than it should have been.  Cooled down with 3 easy miles.

Total Time: 1:06:57 (7:26/mile)

Somedays are like that where you don't feel like pushing, but if I feel like that usually on that first tempo mile, I just think and focus and push passed the first tempo mile than my body/legs seem to freshen up. Sometimes you have to push passed the first mile and not give in and just want to relax on the run. I've found that this works for me.

I was only planning on 3 LT miles so I didn't cut the faster miles short. Each mile was progressively faster but I just didn't have the energy that I wanted. I still don't think that I am 100% recovered from the marathon and this was my first attempt at anything other than regular running.

True. St. George has not been that long ago and its really good not to push the wheels to much to soon. Very good run. My legs are not quite at peak performance either after St. George.
