Back in the saddle...

Alright, after almost a week off to recover, I finally got out there today for a road run of 6.2m. I could definitely still feel the after-effects of the race last weekend. I basically trained my legs to run 11 min/mile for that last ultra, so I now have to re-train them back to 8-9 min/mile. My next race is Sunday, August 17 in Washington Crossing, PA (Chasing the Unicorn), so I have a couple of weeks to get my act together. My usual routine is to run 2 hard 'time trials' per week on my usual 5 mile course and possibly do a 5k race a week or so before the marathon. Any other ideas?
