I try to carry my cell phone with me if I'm running alone. And if I wear headphones, I only wear one earbud so that I can always hear what's around me.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849397081573242118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463249281966354244.post-67092239738787133502008-07-20T02:11:00.000-04:002008-07-20T02:11:00.000-04:00good reminder. just when i get NOT scared to run a...good reminder. just when i get NOT scared to run alone...does anyone want to do 8 miles with me on monday morning (early) since i had to scratch my run this morning so ryan could bike around the ENTIRE bay? <BR/><BR/>and yes, kelli used to call me every day when walking to work. but i didn't mind it. :)mjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09141031502595666446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463249281966354244.post-20648184072180997862008-07-20T00:48:00.000-04:002008-07-20T00:48:00.000-04:00that is so no cool.. that is what always scares me...that is so no cool.. that is what always scares me about running. my mom always goes alone and maren goes alone alot and i hate it! ed tells me to go running and i would but i have to have someone with me cause i am a super paranoid person.. i have been followed by cars before when just walking to and from school..so i HATE walking places by myself, let alone go running alone. if i ever have to i am always on the phone with someone and just ask them to talk to me for a bit in case.. ask mare, i used to call her everyday on my way to work in provo. anyway, be safe running.. my dog isn't big enough yet to protect me while running so i guess i need to find a partner....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159718685744369392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463249281966354244.post-48608850119994302832008-07-17T13:28:00.000-04:002008-07-17T13:28:00.000-04:00that is so awful and so scary. thanks for the saf...that is so awful and so scary. thanks for the safety reminders. i think we get a little too nonchalant about our safety while running sometimes.whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740190416691718489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463249281966354244.post-66062753976162463292008-07-17T12:07:00.000-04:002008-07-17T12:07:00.000-04:00I'm the worst at running alone and with my head ph...I'm the worst at running alone and with my head phones turned way up. The YW had a guest speaker awhile back about self-defense, and general safety tips and that was one of the first things they said was don't wear headphones and/or if you do only wear one them in one ear... I've got to do better on my early morning runs!!
