Today’s Topic is: Five Running/Fitness Safety Tips
Here are mine:
1.Don’t Run Alone.
It’s pretty obvious that you are safer when you are running with a friend.
2.Always Carry Your Phone.
You never know when you are going to need it…
3. Make Sure You have Light
That means either run in a lit path or wear lights or both.
4.Dress For the Weather.
For the heat and especially for the cold.
5.Run on Bike Paths Rather Than the Roads
But if you have to run on the road, run against traffic. Don’t assume cars will stop for you at a crosswalk. Don’t wear headphones or keep the music low.
Happy Running! Can you add any other safety tips? Please share.

Yes, I have always believed that running with a friend or 3 is the best safety move and of course more fun

Definitely. I feel lucky that I don’t have to always run alone.

These are good tips! I unfortunately do run alone- I agree it’s much safer to run with someone. But I do use a light, I don’t wear headphones (if it’s dark) and I don’t run on the road. Oh, and I always have my phone. So I give myself a “B+” on this one.

You also don’t live in a big city. I think you’re good.

I am very much a road runner, and this time of year is actually easier and safer because it’s not as dark in the mornings, and we don’t have the dreariness of up north.
All great tips!

It is easier in the mornings now. But cold.
