AM - 14 miles. 6 mile AT Tempo in 30:53 (5:09/mi avg) - 5:11, 5:10, 5:11, 5:08, 5:08, 5:06. Tempo loop. 4 up, 4 down. Got started a little quick (was aiming for ~5:15) but since I was only going 6 miles I just rolled with it, even though it was at the very fast end of the AT spectrum.
PM - 4 miles.
Orginally was planning on waiting a few more days before doing a workout, but I bounced back from TOU even quicker than I expected. I'll be honest, when I saw the finishing clock that morning my first thought was uhohcrapioverdidthis. But, that's why perceived effort is more important than what clocks tell you. I knew I didn't run the marathon too hard while I was in the midst of it, and the way I've felt over the past week has backed that up. Of course, how I feel right now is still sort of irrelevant... how I feel over the next 2-3 weeks will ultimately be the test.
