Exactly you guys have it right. Said mountains are a luxury for most, so you just gotta be creative where you can, find that park or find a good accesible way to escape the city for a bit. And yeah Saxon you are right, because most people run soley on road/ tarmac which is terrible for your joints and muscles without good shoes. The trick is to finding a balance that fits you and your body. Anyway I think we have made some progress, balance is great, strength and conditioning is great to supplement other activity, because lets face it being fit and able to do stuff is a great thing, and you should all be proud that you^re getting out and having a blast for that good ol endorphin surge and having fun while you're at it.
