Crushed it on a simulation: 14MP: 

6:53 (WU), 6:36, 6:32, 27, 27, 29, 29, 30, 30, 30, 32, 11 (?), 30, 29.  

Jogged it in for 4+ more miles.

 

Very encouraging - didn't think I was close to a 6:30 MP at this point.

Wind gusting and snow blowing in my face.  Fiery effort to push through a workout: 2x4mi. MP kept it under 7 minute pace.

Lunch Workout: Struggled through 13x0.25 - 85-90 second range.  The tough workouts in preceding days and wind accumulated into this poor workout.  6.5 total - 47:16

Walk at work also. 

Why is it ALWAYS WINDY in Indiana ??
