Safety First

Over the years I've logged a lot of hours running in the dark.  What still amazes me is how many people still walk or run with no reflectors or lights of any kind.  Well maybe their shoes have small reflective patches on them.

It's 5:45 am and the driver is rubbing sleep out of their eyes as they quickly head to work early to avoid any traffic.  It's early and not many cars are on the road so they don't really care if they actually stop at the stop sign.  Do you really think that the driver of the car is looking for dark, shadowy runners on the road?

NO.  The only thing that might catch their weary eyes are LIGHTS.  Please wear bright reflectors AND a light of somekind.  Whether it's a wearing a  headlamp or carrying a flashlight just do it!
