When I need a nice soft surface to run on, when recovering from a race or injury, I enjoy running the fairways of a golf course near my home. I take care to avoid running on tees or greens. I also run the golf paths around all par 3’s. When I run all 18 holes, this run is about 6.5 miles, including the run from and to my house. It makes for a good fast hour run in the morning before work.
