it’s certainly gentler on my knees than sidewalks/roads.
good story, very informative, lesson for me is to run for fun and not for achievement , i am a half marathon runner myself.
hope you are feeling better now and able to run the distance you wanted to. mid 2015 — was below 33,000 (the high point was 56,000 in 1990). my guess is that we’re well below 30,000 now, or will be by the end of the year. but that’s just a guess, because unless somebody else steps in to count heads, we won’t really know.
