Agree 100%. I've been running for 40 plus years. I always run against any kind of traffic. We'll be spending winter in the Villages when we retire soon. I plan on continuing that practice on the MM paths as well.
And yes, running on asphalt is softer than concrete. Believe it or not. You can feel it when you run. This has been known to runners for many years.
