Last week I took the entire week off from running. As I was travelling for work, had no real training to keep up with, and was planning on at least 2 days rest anyway, it was just easier to give myself the week off.
So today was the first run since the race. I didn't want to do a long run, as I'm in the process of transitioning to a program where the long runs are once every 3 weeks, with a shorter run and mile repeat speed workouts on the other weekend. My legs were still a bit drained from yesterday's long bike ride, so I initially figured on going at a slow pace for the 6 miles, but it just didn't turn out that way. I'm not really sure why - perhaps because if I went too slow, I felt like it would start getting dark.
Whatever the reason, it turned out to be a tempo run, with a fairly consistent HR of 160.
Total Time: 51:46
Total Distance: 6 Miles
Avg HR: 159
