5 miles @ 10:39/mi
I was on a business trip to Washington State Archive in Olympia, WA. I left the Double Tree hotel just before 5:30am. It was dark when I left, and still dark when I returned an hour later. I was blessed that there was no rain and it wasn't too cold. Being a state capital, there were lots of big, old government buildings downtown separated by parks and green space. I was worried at first about running in the dark, but the walks and trails were all well lit, even the 7 switch backs from Captiol Lake up to the Capitol Building. I really enjoyed my foot tour of downtown Olympia. I think there might be a niche market for a travel agent who specializes in sightseeing tours around the world that cater to runners. It's a great way to see the sights.
