Most of us are working out in the early morning hours, right? We have to get the run in before work and that requires A commitment to running or cycling in the dark. This should lead us to take some precautions to protect ourselves and also to alert the drivers that we are there! But, really, how many of us take the extra time to protect ourselves when heading out for a run?! I’ll admit that I forget the important stuff 50% of the time.
A few reminders include- run against the flow of traffic, keep the ipod on low, where a neon vest, headlamp, and have a road ID on, and be alert!
Women’s Running Vest, $15.95
Petzl Tikka Plus 2 LED Headlamp at REI for $39.95. Note: We bought headlamps for camping and they work great, just, not sure how they’d feel for running. Anybody have a brand they like?
Road ID Firefly High Visibility Gear, $12.95
Road ID, $19.99
Road ID FireflyBelt, $12.99
What other important essentails do you carry with you on a run?

I end up running into the night and I have all the above. I noticed I am the only one wearing such items. Another thing I do is carry a cel phone in case of emergency, and added ICE to my address book with important info of who to call In Case of Emergency.
