I always carry my cell when I run off road. Thanks for the tips.
Excellent tips Anne - I hope the terror is over soon. Very, very, scary. Be safe.
Great reminders. Anywhere, anytime someone may attack. Good to find ways to keep the joy of running without risking rape.
Enjoy/Be safe.
Thanks for the tips, Anne. I hope they catch the guy soon.
That is too scary. I always carry my phone, never listen to an ipod and I stay aware. I do run on my own in the early mornings, through neighborhoods. There are lots of people up and cars on the road, so I feel okay. Better though when one of my buddies comes with me. Stay safe Anne!
Wow, keep an eye out while running! BE SAFE!!!!
Thanks for your tips.
