I ran over to the track.  Once the mile warm-up was done, I tried to push myself the best I could.  I wasn't expecting much.  I wanted to get in a couple miles at a 8:30 minute pace (at least).  Here are my quarters:

2:13

2:05

2:08

2:05

2:05

1:58

1:56

1:48

The first mile 8:31, second 7:48.  For feeling worn out form the prior four days of running, I was very pleased with the results.  I was grateful for the different type of run and for my husband watching Will, so I could be by myself for a while.  I think running faster and faster over the course of the race is my style.  I will continue to aim for more consistency, but to know I can get myself to dig deeper can be a strength.
