6:22 plus for first half mile...and I was not feeling good at all...no energy or bounce. After about half way around first loop I began to slowly speed up...a little. At 2.2 or so a girl in pink top and black tights went by me. I think she was doing about 9 min pace at the time. I sped up just trying to hang close for next 1/3 of mile...she went on...I was actually going to reverse direction but I decided to use her to pull me along even though she was 100 yards plus ahead of me already. I was under 10 min pace thanks to her. First half of first lap I was just hoping to run 56 minutes...then 55...then 54 but even with half mile to go I did not anticipate going under 53:30 which is kinda the new norm for me right now without speed work.

1M 12:15
2M 23:35 (11:20)
3M 33:45 (10:10)
4M 43:50 (10:05)
5M 53:11 (9:21)

I'm not sure why I blab on so much for this level of 'training' but I just go with it.
