Windy mile repeats

Coming off a Sunday rest day I hoped right back up there and ran my speed work/interval workout today. 4 x 1 mile repeats with 0.5 mile recovery interval. Sandwiched that with 1 mile warm-up and 1 mile cool-down.

I ran these from work doing 2 laps out to Anchor Inn and back, then headed down the Riverfront for the last repeat. That last one was tough, right into a 15-20 mph headwind.

My legs felt really poor during the warm-up, so I didn't have a lot of confidence at that start. Once I started getting up to speed though, the legs came around and I settled into a nice rhythm. Great start to the week!
Mile repeat splits:
1.  6:15
2.  6:10
3.  6:10
4.  6:17


Monday: 7.53 miles @ 7:16 overall pace.
