How to handle repetitive execution?

Question

I am trying to verify the correctness of the solution, which I consider to be a fairly typical problem. I have a service, and every 10 minutes he has to do something. I ended up with the following:

private AutoResetEvent autoResetEvent = new AutoResetEvent(true);
private bool isRunning = true;

public void Execute()
{
    while(isRunning)
    {
       DoSomething();

       if(isRunning)
       {
         autoResetEvent.WaitOne(new Timespan(0, 10, 0));
       }
    }
}

public void Stop()
{
    isRunning = false;
    autoResetEvent.Set();
}

The immediate potential problems that I see is that I do not make any locks in the isRunning modification in Stop (), which is called by another thread, but I'm not sure what I really need? The worst that I think can happen is that it starts one extra loop.

Also, are there any obvious issues with this code? Is there a better way to solve this problem that I don't know about?
