Keep off the grass? :)

Running on grass is harder than running on the road in some ways - the softness will tire your legs quicker. However, you're less likely to get injured than running on hard roads.

The best thing is of course, to do what you enjoy but it doesn't hurt to run on a variety of surfaces and get used to them all.

This article is interesting, if a little contentious: runnersworld.co.uk/general/...

Awesome leggings! Tips? Keep practising, it gets easier. I now hate Tarmac, so that's it's own problem.
