Reflective vests, head lights, a reflective collar for the dog - we do it all. What a pain. It takes ages to get dressed for your run then AGES to take it all off again. <br />Can't wait for Spring!

I had a very scary moment last week with two dogs roaming the area and one was really vicous that has made me really more nervous about running in the early morning.

It's the cold that gets me so I don't do it often ... by the time it's warm enough (for me) to run outside, it's light out in the mornings and evenings.

I can get up and run at that time in the summer - but the winter is a whole other story!!<br /><br />I did get a little nervous on early morning runs this summer towards the end of the summer when it was dark... I wasn't afraid of something happening, I was more so afraid that I wuoldnt' see something on the running path and woudl trip and fall or something like that!
