[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My morning breath keeps me well protected...never brush your teeth before leaving the house!

Seriously, no.  But, I do not wear headphones/listen to music when I run.  I also tend to run in the middle of the street and I like to look at houses so while I run in Rock Creek some not a ton.

One factor in my favor is that I am a morning runner.  I have also had this theory that the muggers/rapists aren't out at 6 am, when it's pouring rain or super cold.

But, I pay attention to my surroundings and the people around me.  If someone looks out of place, I go the other way, give them a wide berth, etc.  I don't worry about seeming rude or strange.  And no - this isn't race/class - mainly it's why is that guy wearing jeans and uncomfortable shoes in the middle of the park?  It's late at night and there's a male of any type on one side of the street but none on the other.  Cross the street.   I lived in Dupont in the early 90s when you didn't cross 16th street and I was the only person I knew that didn't get mugged.  Be aware.  Be prickly.  Be safe.  But, get out there and run!
