Speed Work, 8 x Quarter Mile

8 x 1/4 mile repeats, with 1 mile warm up and cool down, and 2 minute recovery walks between the quarter miles. Was shooting for 7:30 pace for the repeats, was able to hit them. I ran most of the repeats with the wind, the final one was up the overpass hill, but the rest were flat. 9:56 for the first mile, then 1/4 mile repeat pace of 7:29, 7:16, 7:04, 7:08, 7:08, 7:08, 6:57 and 7:16, then a cool down mile at 9:27. Average heart rate of 159. the repeats were in the 160s, max heart rate was 178 during the final repeat. Overall a good run. Was abut 50F out with a 10MPH or so south wind, cool enough I still wore running pants, but spring is getting near.
