Hard hill workout

So I ran up and down the Linden Drive hill (.3 from no parking sign to electric meter) 1x 2-up and 2-down (4:39, 4:56), then a 4-5 minute rest and 1-up and 1-down (4:41), then another 4-5 minute rest and 1-up and 1-down (4:41). So I was averaging 7:54 miles for the workout. It was more than threshold, I guess, but maybe not. I wanted to do the whole workout continuously (4-up, 4-down), but couldn't pull it off. Maybe next time I do three in a row. Then 1 and 1. Counting a 10-minute warmup and 6-minute cooldown, it was a 35-minute run -- 4 miles.

Maybe I'm being optimistic but I am hoping it translates into a 23-minute 5K about right now.
