Barry D This was grim, I must admit I like variation. 10 laps of a 1 mile loop wasn't for me.

I'm running without tunes at the minute, and all I had running thru' my head was a song that some friend's of mine's band sang, called 'going round in circles' unsurprisingly, lol ;0)

Sharon J I am running GPS free for a year so I can't map the route out, however I live in a compound called Nichada Thani in Bangkok and the only running route here is a circle around the community :)
