10 total together, really a worst case scenario out and back, had a major stomach issue at the turnaround at 7 miles, first thought was to make it back home and that maybe it would pass, took a GU early to try to calm my stomach, didn't work, made it 3 miles into the return trip then i had to find a restroom and that took me on a crazy roundabout route of locked park bathroom doors, walking-jogging and finally ending up at a caribou coffee, then jogged the rest of the way home after the stop, but the whole flow was thrown off and it ended my bid at a decent long run, although my 10 miles was pretty solid before the wheels came off, just one of those things that happen to runners
