Night Running

I received an email today talking about staying safe while running outside now that it gets dark so much earlier. There were some safety tips they shared and I thought you would appreciate it if I shared them with you as well. These safety guidlines apply throughout the year but it's always good to be reminded.

1. Where light color, and reflective clothing (white, orange safety vests) I have a flashlight that I face toward the ground.

2. Run against traffic (you should do this regardless, consider this a reminder)

3. Make a point to stay in well lit areas whenever possible.

4. Carry pepper spray

5. Leave your headphones at home so that you can hear all that is going on around you.

6. Run in a group. Safety in numbers

Be Smart, Be Safe!
