Hardcastle Loop/33rd Street Loop

I walked this course, formerly known as the Sweetheart Loop, on Monday, and for the first time in close to twenty years saw Sam and Donna Hardcastle at their house in Park Hill. Sam and I talked for ten or fifteen minutes. On the other hand, I haven't seen Sweetheart, a cat I saw on this loop the first time I walked it, in March of 2010, since that first time. I think her family might have moved. So, I decided to change the name, this morning, as I walked the Hardcastle Loop in 45:35.

I jogged the 33rd Street Loop tonight in 51:01, with splits of 10:01, 9:46, 10:03, 10:30, and 10:41. I had to slow down to remain comfortable, but that was OK. That's still my fastest five-mile run since early in the winter of 2010.
