Lisle 5mi Loop x2
Ran:    10.30 miles
Time:  1:29:60 (hh:mm:ss)
Pace:  8:44 minutes/mile 
Temperature:  55°

Solo, 5 mile loop(times 2) around work at lunch time. With the changing of the clocks, it is too dark to run 10mi after work, so I decided to take a long lunch to run 10 and work 2 hours later. It was a decent loop but I think I will experiment with some trails that close by. My goal to to run @35 miles a week. I am figuring 10mi on Mon or Tues, 5mi on Wed, 10mi on Thurs and 10 on Sat with the group. I figure I can run the 10mi on Mon or Tues during lunch at work and run the 10mi at Country Lane immediately after work since I work from home on Thurs.
