Concrete is hard on the Knees

One thing I miss here in the south is the Erie Canal. The Erie Canal runs right through upstate New York, and the towpath is still intact for some of its length. The towpath is gravel for a good part of its length, and asphalt paved for much of the rest. I used to enjoy running on the graveled sections of the towpath when I was younger. There was even a 5 mile race which finished along a stretch of the towpath which was graveled. I haven't found anything similar to the towpath, at least not as easliy reached as the towpath was. I could get to the towpath on my warmup jog, and do my workout on the towpath, then cool down on the jog home.
