Running in the woods and off the beaten trail holds a special allure to me. It sure beats running along busy highways filled with speeding vehicles and massive smoke pollution.
Once you are in the woods, it's a world removed from the trappings of modern civilisation. It's back to nature in the truest sense. Somehow the quiet of the woods, and the leafy greens soothes one's nerves and one's mind. The miles roll by almost unconsciously and effortlessly. There's no one to impress, no one to compete with. It's just you, your breathing, your pacing and your running.
Personally, one run in the woods beat five runs in the streets, any time!
