Orange Street Loop/Gimblett Loop intervals

At about 8 a.m. Central I ran the final two minutes of each five to cover the Orange Street Loop in 34:42, with splits of 12:13, 11:34 and 10:55.

This evening I ran long intervals on the Gimblett Loop, going five minutes hard with a three-minute jog interval. I ran the first mile to warmup in 9:48, did four sets of the intervals through the next three and a half miles, with splits of 9:18 (which included the 47th Street hill), 8:44, 8:57, and 7:53. I did sort of push the final half mile to break 45 minutes. I completed the loop in 44:39, close to two minutes faster than my old course record. This felt good. Now I will go eat with the Gimbletts.
