That grass sounds nice to run on. The only problem for me is it's so dry over here there's not grass! Oh how I long to run through the damp grass...sounds like it could be a poem or something :)

I ran through damp grass last week, hadn't rained in days, but it was 100% humidity! lol It definitely is easier on the joints, I try to do it a couple times a week, but my son's soccer season ends this week, so that luxury will probably go away, as I don't see myself driving to run circles around empty fields!
