Sunday I did my first long long run since the marathon and I'm thinking I need to start making it a habit. My plan is to run 3 days/wk as I was training for the marathon, as it is convenient, effective, and keeps me from getting hurt. However, instead of Tuesday being an easy run I am going to try to do always do speed work, hills, tempo, or intervals, on the weekday runs. I think I will have plenty of time to recover and this way I will make the most out of my workouts. Not sure the easy run is needed if I'm only running 3 days/wk.
I hope this will keep my in good distance running shape but also improve my speed in shorter races.

3 days / wk sounds reasonable and seemed to do the trick for you. I think where I effed up was in not resting enough and pushing too hard toward the end of training. It looks like you're maintaining marathon shape. Are you happy with your race time on Turkey Day?
