My inlaws especially, are always worried about me getting attacked, raped, mugged (as if they'd want anything I had on my while barefoot running) etc. There have been a few asaults with female runners over the last few mos. I am always alert to my surrounding, usually run in broad daylight, run on more trafficked areas, so now I'm thinking what could I do more to protect myself?
Carry a shotgun on my back? LOL a billy club dangling from a water belt?
For now, sounds silly, but I always have a chopstick stuck through my hair...not super weapon worthy but it could do some damage if need be. no? How do you protect yourself out on your runs? Do you worry about it?
