38th Street Loop/Ghetto Cat Loop

This morning I did the sort of interval session I used in the early stages of my '08-09 campaign. All on the two-mile 38th Street Loop, I walked and jogged a half-mile warmup, alternated one-minute runs with one-minute walks for a mile, and then walked and jogged the half-mile in. I finished in 23:47, with splits of 12:05 and 11:42. I covered the interval mile in 10:53, during which I ran six times; guessing, I'd say I averaged a little under eight minutes a mile on those runs. I felt great, but no more than OK as I walked the Ghetto Cat Loop late this afternoon in 31:50. It was 99°F when I finished at 5:30 p.m.
