A safety announcement

16 Mar

With the return of spring this week, its a good idea to take a minute and remind ourselves to be careful as we take to the open road for our runs.

When possible, run with a buddy.  If you can’t, let someone know you are going out and when you are expected to finish.

Know your route and if it doesn’t feel right for some reason, cut it short.  No run is worth your safety.

Wear a road id bracelet or have your contact info as your screen saver on your phone, should you fall and are in need of emergency services.

Ear phones are ok, as long as you can still hear emergency vehicles and bicyclists shouting.  Don’t get so lost in your playlist, that you do not hear someone shouting your name or the word STOP!

The reason for my post, came from a very sad post in my Tough Chik community about the senseless murder and rape of  a mother and her 10 year old daughter in upstate NY this week. The mom who died was a cousin of my team mate. The 10 year old  had just finished gymnastics class and they were leaving the mall when they were attacked by a 29 year old man.  This broke my heart as a mother of 2 daughters and I have 1 daughter in law and 1 grand daughter  and 2 grandsons  I couldn’t bear anything like this .

Be safe, have fun and we are all tough chiks.

  2. For the latter, the panel would have to agree Shui was also intoxicated following drinking a minimum of two bottles of wine and possibly popping a sleeping pill (he can’t don’t forget if he truly did) to form the intent to kill.

  4. Best cheap chanel That i have ever decided to buy & really worth the commitment. It’s very seriously worth expending the particular money on a couple of cheap chanel should you will expend exactly the same total or higher about inexpensive imitations available. Aspire these people were a real tad easier to clean & put into easier following having a clean, but that’s simply overlooked in comparison with the correct way good, clothing & stylish the particular cheap chanel seem to be. We appreciate him or her!
