AM: 5.3 at 7:20 pace... felt great.  Wanted to run more.

 PM: 5k race, only 9 seconds off my PR 6 days after the marathon.  I definitely didn't really go all out either.  I was never in too much pain.  But I brought home the bacon defending my title (I won this race last year with a much worse time).  Nothing hurt so I think I am clear to do workouts at this point.  Next weekend I am doing an 8k cross country race in boston (mayors cup) which I am thinking I should definitely break 29 at.  It really isn't respectable until you are sub 28, but it is very unlikely that that will happen right now as that would be a faster pace than the 5k I did today.  But getting further away from the marathon and putting in just a little speed work should help.

great job haynes! just be careful you don't overdo it for a couple weeks. at least keep your mileage down even if you are going to do high intensity stuff. what was the 2nd place time? i'm actually going to go out on a group bike ride tomorrow morning at a local bike shop. i hope my bike holds up...

Yeah, I am a little bit worried that I am overdoing it, but I am enjoying it and I feel good. I still plan to take some time off/very low mileage during christmas break that will be my between season recovery.
