It was a nice day for running (55) but very windy.  Today I planned on doing 8 miles at MP.  I felt good on the warmup and thought it would be a good run.  I was having to hold back on the warmup to keep from going too fast so that was a good sign.  I planned to run aroun 7:10 pace for the MP but just wanted to run relaxed and comfortable.  After the warmup I started the MP miles and it felt real good.  I didn't feel like I was pressing at all.  The miles into the wind were a little slower but just tried to keep the same effort.  Here are the splits for the MP miles:

7:03, 7:07, 7:04, 6:59, 6:52, 6:58, 6:53, 6:47

Real happy with the run and feel like I am starting to make some progress.
