I wouldn't want to do 10 miles because the constant turning in one direction wouldn't be great for my injury issues, but it's pretty standard for me to do a 5 mile tempo on the track. I don't get bored at all actually because it's a workout. If it was just an easy run then yeah, I'd be bored.
You could reverse direction.

The indoor track I have access to has different days specified for running different directions.

If I'm there at 6 am with 1 other person, I've been told to stop running the wrong direction, even though there is no chance of us colliding.

re: Some people don't get it

The hallways of my office are shaped like a track and I always imagine myself running around it.

re: 10k guy

i hope you do this in the outermost lane. or you are 5'-3" tallotherwise, it's probably a bad idea unless you switch direction every two milesi do tempos and marathon pace work in lane 8 all the time but can't imagine lane 1. just use a gps watch for the distances

I thought it was an outdoor track.

Actually the bend is barely different at your speed.

It's just psychological to think lane 1 is so much "tighter" than lane 8 that it makes a difference at long run pace.

If you enjoy that, you might also enjoy;

Riding up and down escalators alone without moving up.

Walking on a treadmill at the gym while watching TV

Wearing white socks with a navy blue suit

Wearing a fanny pack

Buying your groceries at Walmart

Clip-on ties

Wearing Star Trek shirts in public

Staring at a brick wall for long periods

Used to love doing the occasional 10 miler on an outdoor "dirt" track. This was BITD so there were few hobby joggers. No traffic, no hills, no concrete, just cruising--beautiful.
