Wanted to do a 45 minute tempo run. I warmed up at 1% incline and 9:13 pace. After a half mile I went to a 8:27 pace but my legs were not feeling it. I thought they would be better by now but they are not. I stuck it out until for a mile and a half and then the last two miles I would go between 9:13 and 8:27. I wanted this to feel a lot easier than it did.

Did you forget the 1 day per mile raced rule? It is going to be a couple of weeks before this type of run will feel easy.

If it helps you feel better. My 10 mm pace felt HARD today!

I agree, still plenty of time until you need to go hard. Make sure you are recovered.

Nice job getting out there and running again. Keep it nice and relaxed.
