Kwaka Mar 2009 8:51am, 11 Mar 2009 641 posts	Quote Pin Kwaka Wise decision FR, especially after the rain over the week-end.
RooA Mar 2009 8:54am, 11 Mar 2009 12,239 posts	Quote Pin RooA As well as that FR even on fairly hard ground if it's uneven you are more likely to sprain an ankle in road shoes cos you just can't feel and react to the ground as well. I'd take blisters over a sprain myself.

Mar 2009 8:56am, 11 Mar 2009 18,134 posts	Quote Pin Yes, it's likely to get slippy but I want to be able to run reasonably quickly on the hard stuff. Some of the more slippy bits (2 of them) are best walked anyway when it gets to a certain point cos walking is probably quicker...
