A reminder: stay safe!
From sexual assault to thugs on YouTube, there are (sadly) plenty of reasons to take care when you head out on a run. Have fun, but stay safe!

    Wow, I hadn't learned of the incident in Fayetteville, AR until I read your blog. I grew up 20 minutes from Fayetteville and worked in Fayetteville for a long time. I know exactly the trails they speak of in the news report of a sexual assualter!

    Been going on forever. As a high school runner I was assaulted with a flurry of bottles from a car. Flipping them off I knew they'd turn around and drive back. It was at night and finding a nice dark spot and a large stone, I gave them a thousand dollar ding knowing no way were they going to catch me. Still have mixed feelings about that with all kinds of possible unintended consequences. I wouldn't do it like that today but it felt great at the time. Could get you or someone else killed.

    I would rather deal with cougars, bears and skunks than human predators any day. Hence, why I stick to the hills.

    Didn't look like they tackled anyone between the ages of 13 and 60. Real tough-guys.
