Ghetto Cat Loop/Orange Street Loop

I walked the Ghetto Cat Loop at lunchtime today in 31:23.
This evening I alternated one-minute jogs with four-minute walks through the first and third miles and jogged every other minute through the second to complete the Orange Street Loop in 43:36. My splits were 14:58, 14:12, and 14:26. My legs are dead. I don't know why.

Paragraph(s) of the day from A Different Closet
Keith wasn’t surprised by Ronald Hardman’s visit. In fact he expected it, but he would later marvel at the extent to which it pleased him.
Hardman wore a shiny black suit and placed his black fedora on top of the television near the foot of Keith’s bed. He sat in the chair Karen vacated when she left.
“I’m glad you’re in one piece,” he said. “Someone told me President Reagan called you.”
“He did, and you know what, he was funny. He said something about us comparing bullet holes someday. We didn’t talk for more than maybe two or three minutes. That was it, but it was nice. It was fun.”
“Well, what do you know?” Hardman said.  “Me and you on equal footing. He’s been in Washington for six years, and I think me and him have talked for a total of exactly that, about two or three minutes. Anyway, the real thing I wanted to know is whether or not you’re still running.”
