Ran with a Monday night group back in my hometown.  The first 4 miles I averaged a 7:39/mi pace.  The 3rd mile was a little slower and the fourth a little faster.  At one point I was doing a 7:18/mi pace.  Then I dropped close to my marathon goal pace for the last two miles and ended up averaging 8:15/mi.  The pace was difficult to determine because it was so cold.  I kept jumping between 8 and 9 min/mi.

Ran the first 2.25mi at a 8:42/mi pace

Did 6 x 400m with 400m easy run in between.  I wasn't able to run on a track, so the distances are close I used my GPS watch and tried to start and stop the lap as close to a .25mi interval as I could.
