10am, 40 degrees and very windy. Did an 8.4 mile out and back to the corner of MQP. Fought the wind big time miles 3 and 4, but had it working for me on the way back. Out in 30:37 (7:17s) and back in 28:59 (6:54s). 59:36 (7:06s) overall. Felt a little harder than moderate, which is not where I want to be. I want most of these base runs to be near the faster end of my steady state zone, but not going into a place where I'm beginning to work anaerobically. Given wind conditions, I'm calling 2 of the 4 miles out M-pace miles.
