60F, 7:03 AP. I wanted to pick up the pace a little at the end, but this was probably a bit much for 2 weeks post-marathon. I could feel the deep fatigue (what I like to call marathon stink) in the last couple miles. I averaged 6:44 for the 7 miles on the way back (7:00, 6:53, 6:46, 6:27, 6:45, 6:39, 6:39). The 6:27 kicked up a little lactic acid so I dialed it back realizing I wasn't quite recovered from Boston, despite how good it felt up until that point. Even so, this is probably the fastest I've bounced back from a full marathon. Not sure the reason; I underperformed the race, but not by too much.
Next week is a transition week. Probably a light CV workout on Tuesday, some strides, and a progressive run somewhere in there. Then it's time to kick in the 5k-10k program. I know that's what I said last summer, but, like, for real this time.
