Felt crappy at the start, better as we went along.

Nice to see you back out of the Lost Sheep.

That 2:17 on a whim shows you've got some serious speed still. Not a surprise, your form still looks like you could run a 4:12 mile, very smooth. The speed is just for some reason not being realized in longer distances. Will take some mucking around to figure out, but where I would start is consistent mileage throughout the year, good sleep, and a healthy diet.
