Orange Street Loop Intervals

I will complain about the cold tonight, and simultaneously recognize that at least 25 percent of my readership is faced with the same experience, a temperature nearly 40 degrees lower than yesterday's high. Given this day most likely falls into the category occupied by 99 of 100, I assume 100 percent of my readership, the south Texans, know of which I write. It is 41. Yesterday it was 80. Plus, it's raining. I jogged the first mile of the Orange Street Loop, ran intervals, scaled back to brisk 60-second runs separated by slow, slow 60-second jogs, through the second, and jogged the third to complete the loop in 30:47, with splits of 10:46, 9:11, and 10:50.

The Little Rock Marathon starts exactly one hour and 28 minutes short of a half a week from this moment. This was a nice and I hope appropriate final spin.

My over-under again drops, to 5:25. Tonight I recommend the under.
