Get Soft

If your ankles, knees, and hips ache from running on pavement (especially concrete), head for the dirt. Soft trails or graded roads are a lot easier on your joints than the hard stuff. Also, dirt surfaces tend to be uneven, forcing you to slow down a bit and focus on where you put your feet-great for agility and concentration.
