Running for most people here is a remote idea. Running to the fridge - yes. Running just because to run - ha! <br />So, if someone grabbed me and pushed me in the vehicle, I guess, I will be gone. I run with my cellphone though.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380933058410866261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256092718078513660.post-25043124109054722302010-02-22T23:10:31.329-07:002010-02-22T23:10:31.329-07:00Candice- Speaking as a paranoid myself- the last t...Candice- Speaking as a paranoid myself- the last thing a paranoid person needs is ammunition!

My first thought after reading your post, "A gun? Really?!" A gun seems like overkill. Maybe pepper spray would make you feel safer? You live in Pleasant Grove, for goodness sakes!

I just loved this post. I have had the same thoughts before, I have always been a little worried running alone. My last run, some stray dog started following me and instead of biting me he ended up running alongside me. He was a great running partner. I couldn't believe how much safer I felt running next to someone elses big dog.

The only thing that helps me is a running partner or staying on main roads where there would be plenty of witnesses. <br />Check and see if your community offers the RAD (rape aggression defense) self defense course.

I vote for big dogs-mostly because I love big dogs and grew up with golden retrievers. I can't wait to get one! A) you can train them to poop on the side of the house or at least the outskirts B) They make big poops-but big poops are easier to see than little poops- so less likely to step in them because they are VERY visable.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357533430568188723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256092718078513660.post-62459651810337987902010-02-17T21:02:05.896-07:002010-02-17T21:02:05.896-07:00Good Luck with your workouts.
