It stuck in my mind, so I came back today to specifically comment. <br /><br />My wife runs, with her cellphone (of course) but also with a small pressurized air-horn - just in case. Hopefully most muggers wont have the energy or inclination to even consider chasing down a good runner.<br /><br />I run with my cell phone, but have a similar (but different) fear. I had a really bad heart-attack several years ago, and my fear is that I will be out running somewhere and have another. Have thought about it, and decided that all we can do is 1) take reasonable precautions and not be stupid 2) get on with life and enjoy what we have.<br /><br />So, my suggestion is to exercise reasonable common-sense, but dont let "what-if's" get in the way of your life.<br /><br />"life is what happens while we are busy planning..."Barry Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975435971131796370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956782078294242459.post-52833098534608780022010-03-10T08:39:47.278-08:002010-03-10T08:39:47.278-08:00I am a morning person, but I have no advice on how...I am a morning person, but I have no advice on how to become one.... I know that I don't snooze - ever. When my alarm goes off I get out of bed. Maybe that will help?<br /><br /><br />PS - Jack Johnson is probs my 3rd fav band behind Bare Naked Ladies and DMB.

Being lazy in the morning...struggling to get out of bed, and eating way too much ! So I'm determined that tomorrow is a new day. I just got done prepping all of my food for the week, and I'm setting my alarm for 4:00.

I'm also scared to run in the dark but that's one of the things I'm going to take on this year and try to conquer. My other worry, at least where I live is not finding my way out of trails. They loop around and intersect and it's confusing. I guess that's not a bad thing because I would run longer :)ShellBellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05336763551897088205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956782078294242459.post-48630894213688829492010-03-04T18:39:32.839-08:002010-03-04T18:39:32.839-08:00I don't run on trails by myself.

But the trails by us are paved, so it's not like it would be a nice run in the woods if I did run them.MCM Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588793352268224508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956782078294242459.post-25203127225355097272010-03-04T18:19:56.638-08:002010-03-04T18:19:56.638-08:00I don't have gluten issues but when we go on l...I don't have gluten issues but when we go on longer hiking/backpacking trips I would make our own bars, well balls rather. I would just dump dates, walnuts, sometimes cinnamon in a food processor and then formed little balls (sticky procedure), rolled them either in chopped finely walnuts or cocoa powder and then I would eat them all. That is unless my hubby or son beat me to them. Would that work for you?<br />Running by myself is a bit of a challenge but in a way I feel like I am brave by not giving in to my fears. This is also a big bragging thing in front of my friends. But honestly I think I am probably safer on trails than in the city. Wanna move to CA and we can run together? Warn you, I am slow.<br />Limiting internet time? Is such a thing possible? I would have withdrawal issues, I mean major issues. Don't do it, I am telling you, suffering will be awful. :)<br />In reality this is one of the things I hope I can do.<br />Kombucha recipe, please. None I have tried worked for me.

I always have my cell phone in hand too! I don't want to take unnecessary risks, but also don't want to let fear keep me from living like I want to live. So, I go out there and run. And pray that all the creepies are to busy creepin' elsewhere to bother me! : )Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598617751195329959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956782078294242459.post-42531568489380690242010-03-04T12:24:29.620-08:002010-03-04T12:24:29.620-08:00Sometimes when running by darkened fields I get a ...Sometimes when running by darkened fields I get a little spooked when I hear nature rustling about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
