8.82 in 1:06:41. 

I decided to try and do the same workout that MichelleL and TylerS did yesterday (but without the 200m intervals at the end).  It was 4 x 2000m (1.25 miles) at around an overall pace of 6:05 to 6:20 or somewhere in that range for all 4.  Warmed up for 1.75 and then here were the splits:

1-7:30 (6:01 pace) Why am I doing this?  Maybe I should just do mile repeats......

2-7:41 (6:09 pace)

3-7:40 (6:09 pace) The best one by far. Felt relaxed and controlled.

4-Around 7:50ish

The last one was all screwed up because there was so much traffic.  This was a hard workout, but I actually came away from it feeling very good about things.  I probably went out too hard on the first 2 splits.  They were very uncomfortable.  However, the 3rd one felt really good and in controll.  It also had a slight (very slight) downhill to it.  Which also means that split 2 had a very slight uphill to it.
