[quote=Anonymous]I can tell you that in 24 years of running in the DC area, almost always alone, I have only felt threatened 3-4 times. (I got grabbed once, I had a guy try to touch me once, once I had some guy run alongside me for a bit asking about my running tights, and I'm probably forgetting one.) I prefer neighborhood streets to busy streets, and I prefer trails (paved or not) to streets. I prefer running on the bike lane to the sidewalk because the sidewalk has about a million trip hazards per mile and 90% of my falls have been due to sidewalks. (tree roots account for the rest.) You just have to be alert to cars and bikers. I would also wear a reflective vest if it's not fully daylight.[/quote]
