It was an Echo Lake day. A day where I feel I can only muster a mile or two. A day where I con myself into a quick jaunt around the lake in the knowledge that I might be able to add loops once I'm there and bump my distance up to something worthwhile. I ended up running round the lake
five times. And, to make the repetition easier to swallow, I marked each loop with a photograph.
Loop one.
Loop two.
Loop three.
Loop four.
Loop five.
All the looping got me thinking about mental endurance. How many times could I run this 0.9 mile circuit in a row before stopping or going out of my mind? And then I started fantasising about my own personal Echo Lake Marathon (27 miles, 30 loops). One day, perhaps.
