7 total miles in 59:31 8:33 pace
1 mile warm up followed by 2 sets of 4x800 at 10k pace with 90 seconds between 800's. 5 minute jog between sets; 1 mile cool down. Was looking to run around 6:10 pace for the 800's but the first 4 were run right into the face of 30 mph winds with gusts of even higher. Ended up running those first 4 averageing 3:15 or 6:30 pace. On the return trip the 4 splits were at 2:55 or 5:50 pace with the same effort. Right knee is feeling a little achey so I'll ice tonight and keep an eye on it. Tough conditions with the wind and 18 degree temps.
