Running Circles at Hinckley

Yesterday, I forced myself to go for a run. I would have been more than happy (and comfortable) to stay home instead of getting outside for a run, but I needed it, so I went. I was originally thinking of 15 miles around the Hinckley Metropark APT. 5 loops. I also had a somewhat arbitrary self-imposed time limit to which I wanted to adhere. So, there I was, running up and down and all around, mileage VS. getting home by noon. I compromised. I ran 4 loops for 12.5 miles and ran hard, averaging somewhere around 8:30. I got my run in and was able to get home and take the dog out for a 2 mile walk before the rain began. Then I took a nap.
