8 Mile Tempo Run

8 mile run in the afternoon, 1 mile warm up, 6 mile tempo run, then 1 mile cool down. Ran out on the spur, but there was a head wind, so I ended up running back and forth quite a bit to avoid running into the wind for too long. Splits of 9:46, 9:03, 9:02, 8:50, 9:03, 8:59, 8:53 and 9:26. Total time of 1:13:07, average pace of 9:08 and average heart rate of 164. Record 8 mile run, but wasn't really going for that.
