During last Saturdays jaunt around Windermere LR and I discussed hitting up Clermont for a hill run soon... With 10 miles on deck this week, I thought what better place to run then the 10 Mile loop? Of course LR was in so bright and early Saturday morning we started our run...
10 Mile Loop Stats:
Looking back was like looking down a road to nowhere
Chug-chugging up the biggest hill of all
Mile 8 - Even BIGGER rollers
I had 800's on deck for Friday but skipped them to save my legs... Good thing I did because LR ran me hard and we totally killed it out there! We're talking Mile 6 = 7:49 P and that's with rollers! We charged the last hill and ended the run with an overall pace of 8:15... like I said, we ran 'em HARD! 10 HILLY Miles run and done! Time for the reward...
Mmmm Chick-fil-a!
Best.Fruit Cup.EVER! = NO MELON!
...next up: Non-running related activities with B.o.B!
I hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend and Easter spent with family, friends and loved ones!
10 Mile Loop Stats:
Mile 1 - 5 - Steady graduated inclines
Mile 5 - 9 - Rolling hills
Mile 9 - 10 - Dead legs and soft sand...

Above - Nice soft clay road just perfect for running
Below - We thought it was a sinkhole, obviously he went to check it out... because really, what's a run without crossing under a barbed wire fence? Do you see a trend here?
The 10 Mile Loop starts on 5 Mile Rd. This is the Halfway Point
Orange Groves in the Morning Fog
Mile 5 - Begin Rolling Hills
Looking back was like looking down a road to nowhere

Thats a seriously cool looking run that I'd like to try one day!
Looks like a perfect running surface - way to attack those hills!
That looks like such a pretty place to run! And great pace you guys kept! Damn. You hit 'em hard.
That sand is like nothing I've ever seen before!! Craziness!
Way to go lady, you killed it, can't believe you rocked that pace and on HILLS to boot!!
Wow! That sand looks amazing!
Great job with the hilly 10 miles...impressive pace :)
Amazing pace and with all the hills! Good work! And I totally agree about fruit cups...no melons, please. Otherwise everything tastes of melons...
Wow! Can you please teach me to conquer hills? They are complete torture for me ={
I did not realize there were Hills in Florida! Those look HUGE for that area, maybe I should take a drive over and do a run. I like that there is no traffic. Great time!
Great but tough run!
Hey let me know about the blogger get together in Boston!
That looks like a great run! honestly I prefer those rolling hills! great job on the pace too! Must have been a great morning!
Thanks for the info! We were in Palm Beach and worked our way down to Miami. Ahhh!
True Story about the fruit cup! No one does it better!
And you snapped some great photos!
not jealous of the hills, but I am jealous of that soft clay!!
That's so crazy to see all those hills, I need to make a trip down for some serious hill work, all we have here are bridges! And I bet that nice clay was good on the knees too.
Other than the orange groves those pictures look more like Georgia than Florida! LOL. I bet your shoes were a different color after the run! Sounds fun.
10 miles of hills? No thank you girl, but you did awesome! Nice pace on those damn things.
OMG, I used to love Chik-fil-A, it was my favorite fast food place before I began a vegetarian. That sandwich looks GOOD.
Uhh...rolling hills (those are big!), sub -8s AND 10-miles?! those three things should not go together...ha, sheesh! NICE RUN! You definitely deserved that chicken and melonless fruit ;)
Hills? In Florida? Who knew. I bet it was dusty too.
My nephews love Chik fil A, and my 9 year old is incredibly upset that we don;t let her eat it.
Gorgeous pictures! Great job on the hilly run!
Those clay roads look so nice to run on! Crazy hills, yo!!! Great pics... way to get it done!
I'm with you on the melon. :)
So, if I ever come and visit ya, we're gonna run that route! Looks like a blast! Plus, if there is chicken sammy's at the end I'm all over it!
Great job girly!! See ya in less than 2 weeks :)
oh what a neat run! I bet that was soft on the knees too!
My body is feelin tired girl from all these hard runs, but I like it!!
Awesome looking scenery, totally jealous!
WOW now those are some rollers! So pretty though.
Mmm fruit cups. And as a melon hater, I'm all over that one with no melon to speak of!
wow! beautiful photos! that looked like an amazing run.
that's an insane pace for a 10 mile HILLY run. I've never eaten at a Chick-fil-a sad, no?

LR ROCKS!!!
What a nice squishy road and some beautiful scenery.
perfect running surface for a hard effort!! nice job w/ the hills. you crushed them!!
Oh man, those roads make me want to go home to run on the farm!
P.S. my goal is to be able to run in a sports bra like that...maybe one day, maybe.
Nice run! It looked really scenic. And, I couldn't help but notice that there is a mickey mouse shaped field shaped by irrigation on there too. Is there any place that Mickey ISN"T!? :)
