Found a great stretch of road in West Lafayette. Salisbury out and back - 8.5 miles, averaged 7:45

 

Planned on 6 mile tempo but the new, wide stretch of road had me a bit excited. Started to cramp around 5.2, so ended 5.6 for just over 40 minutes with a 5 mile PR.

Split 1: 6:55

Split 2: 7:06

Split 3: 7:05

Split 4: 7:20 (turn around mile into a head wind)

Split 5: 7:09

Split 6: 7:20 (for .60 miles)
