[quote=Anonymous]I know this area of the trail and it always made my spine tingle, even though I was never alone. There are several sections of Four Mile that just are not safe. Period.

I have a treadmill for early morning or late runs, but try to run in broad daylight as much as possible. HOWEVER, you will not find me on Four Mile or most other trails. I tend to jog on street sidewalks where I am easily seen by other motorists and have an easy escape route if something happens. I also tend to jog the Iwo Jima trail onto the Mall quite a bit and consider it be about the safest part of any trail around.

Earlier this week, I was jogging in my neighborhood in McLean, and decided to dart down a street where I saw some new homes being built. As soon as I did it, I was upset with myself. I put myself on a side street, with no easy escape route and lots of construction workers. ack! Anyway, I decided gawking at the new homes wasn't worth my personal safety and turned around.

It is awful that women have to constantly be aware of everything in the environment, however, it is necessary. I feel absolutely awful for the woman attacked.[/quote]
