[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Problem with not wearing headphones while running is that some of us are covering some pretty long distances and the distraction of music can be incredibly helpful.  When you're out there by yourself for 10-20 miles, the music is a godsend.  I don't think it is asking too much as a woman to want to be able to run on a public trail, in the middle of a metro area, in broad daylight, without having to worry about being raped or attacked because - god forbid - we're wearing headphones.  (good point about cyclists - they can come up pretty fast, but we really do need to remember to look both ways and not get careless.)

I'm the PP and I run 10 to 20 miles at a time as well.  Of course, we should be able to do what we want and not worry about being attacked, but the fact is we need to be aware of our surroundings.  As for the cyclists, I've had near misses even when I'm not the one shifting form left to right.  Thats what really scares me.  We can be as careful as possible but we can't make them be careful.[/quote]
