[quote=Nicodemus][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please no earbuds. I am so sick of runners in the neighborhood with their earbuds in just casually running down the middle of the road in front of my car with no awareness of their surroundings.[/quote]

That's funny, because I'm sick of drivers who don't come to a complete stop at stop signs, crosswalks, or pay attention at lights when pedestrians/runners have the right of way. I run with earbuds, but stay aware of my surroundings and always look where I'm going (and check before I turn). But it's generally the drivers who fail in proper yielding, and run the greater risk of hurting someone or causing an accident. [/quote]

I am very aware when I run with earbuds in. When I run on the street I try to remember to run with only one earbud in specifically for the reasons mentioned above. I actually had a women pretty much hit me as she was pulling out. I was coming up on the right side of her car and actually saw her scan my way just as I was coming up on her car. I saw that she couldn't pull out because of the proximity of on coming traffic. As I ran in front of her car she eased forward and I had to jump and pretty much roll across her hood. She had the most dumb founded look on her face like I had appeared out of thin air. Worse, this was at 10:45 in the morning on a bright day.

Really what it comes down to is everyone trying to be a bit more aware of our surroundings. Now, even if it jacks up my pace I will go around the back of a car just in case.
