It is easier to run East
I was back at the lab this morning. Back to work, no more fancy runs for awhile. The lab is 3 out and 3 back more or less. The out is due west, the back due east. The wind, when there is any, is out of the west. You all know where the sun rises. Occasionally, conditions line up to create a pretty challenging environment.
This morning was in the mid 30s with about a 15 mph wind out of the west. The out legs were wind in the face and sun at the back, very cold. The back legs felt easily 20 degrees warmer. I couldn't get the snivel gear off fast enough. I guess the logistics kept it interesting. The splits reflected the flakey weather.
1st 3 == 27:32 west
2nd 3 == 26:21 east
3rd 3 == 27:36 west
4th 3 == 26:50 east
Last 2== 18:22
Total for 14 == 2:06:43
Heartrate at 75% 150 bpm

Sounds as though your previous run in THE Park was a very good one - timewise and visually. Good for you!
Now that you're back at the lab, continued success in your goal of dropping 8+ minutes from last half marathon. That would be a tremendous accomplishment!
Trust the mid 30s temps were a quickly passing glitch in our Spring weather.
My best,

Visually, it was very nice, springtime and in bloom you know.
Remember, the real goal is the 3:10 marathon, everything else is a checkpoint.
