Ran to the track and did a hard mile. Winds were over 20 mph and it was in the 20s. My Garmin finished the mile early and messed up my timing so idk the exact time, somewhere between 5:00 and 5:06. Given the conditions I'm okay with it. M

Warmed up 2 miles and then ran 2x2 miles at half marathon pace with a mile in between. The first was about 6:25 pace and the 2nd was probably about 6:10-6:15, my Garmin said 5:53 but I think it was a little fast.

Cold day and kinda windy, mostly easy run. Ran over to the track and threw in a few 400s at mile pace just to get the legs moving and warm up a bit, they were surprisingly slow and didn't feel easy. I wasn't working that hard on them but they didn't feel nearly as smooth as I'd like. I ran 77, 74, 76. Also did a stride building up to a sprint. Probably just cold, need to switch to my new trainers as well. These ones are probably finished.
