.....but I'm posting this so that a fellow local forum member can see the route we use. Sorry to those who have seen this route posted before!

Nice day for a run with the club from work. The sun is shining and there's a nice cool breeze. We had a new recruit today, so we did a nice steady pace and did a few loops to avoid leaving them behind. 6.45k in 34:15, which is 5:18/km, so not a bad pace.

Happy running :)

You know I never realised until now that you ran around luton. I understand why you run so quickly now. It's that or wear a stab vest :P

lagatachocolate I run on my own in Luton, and it's fine. In fact one of my most vulnerable times was running from Harpenden towards Hemel and back when I got a whole heap of racial abuse from some fairly privileged youngsters on their way to what is supposed to be a "good school".

Just playing, Razouski; I spent many happy days in Luton visiting family when growing up 😊

Oh pinkaardvark that's harsh criticism of my home town. 😢We get more bad press than we deserve. There are some really lovely parts of Luton and some really lovely people too.

Sorry Razouski. I was just trying to pull his leg. I'm sure Luton has it's lovely bits. I just haven't had the nicest of experiences there myself.

Haha!! The route we use goes through Marsh Farm, which has a reputation as a bad area, but from experience you would never know it. There are areas of picturesque woodland with a river running through it. On our run today we passed many locals, all of who moved aside and smiled when we thanked them.

Thanks Mike for posting the route, I might give this one a go sometime. And what a good pace you ran at too.

Thank you! We have run that same route in under 29 minutes before now!

I am sure you will do it again one day...if you are allowed out for an hour 😉

Tnat is pretty fast, Mike! You should be chuffed to bits.

Thanks Flick. Would you believe that when just me and the coach went out a couple of weeks ago we did the same route 5 minutes faster!!!
