7.5 miles w/ 3 mile evaluation

I knew I was tired before I even started this morning... my standing around HR was 80 (about 20bpm higher than normal). I had planned to do 3 miles at 6:50 pace and then monitor HR and recovery time. The 2 mile warm-up wasn't enough to loosen my legs very much but it was starting to rain and get windy so I started the eval miles anyway.

6:48 (174)
6:50 (181)
6:49 (185)

The first mile actually felt ok but my legs were definitely tired. Mile 2 was a little harder and mile 3 felt about the same as mile 1 (even though the winds had picked up and the rain was dumping). Probably the most telling part of the run was that it took 3:00 to recover to 130.
