There is a trail that runs right alongside it. There are runners who choose the road on days where the trail is icy, and I see them running IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!! I want to believe that people will look out for me when I am running, but even in the best of all worlds, a car may slide on the ice. What then?Stephanihttp://www.troublerun.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409575404401663375.post-71008675140984476642014-02-25T11:00:48.000+01:002014-02-25T11:00:48.000+01:00Oh this just makes me sad and it makes me mad. It...Oh this just makes me sad and it makes me mad. It makes me mad, because this accident could have totally different. <br>Why on earth would you run wearing all black, when it's dark out? Why on earth was she running in the middle of the road? I mean seriously is she stupid? I get that it might have been better conditions in the middle of the road, but boy on his scooter wouldn't have expected to see her in the middle of the road. And why wasn't she running against traffic. <br>She knew the risks, well she should have known the risks, things like this could have been prevented with high visibility gear, reflective gear, oh and lets not forget about the headphones. <br><br>I do hope that both of them have learned something from this.Matildahttp://www.runmum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409575404401663375.post-44204386173674917672014-02-25T11:27:54.000+01:002014-02-25T11:27:54.000+01:00I agree.

Wearing black ánd a headphone isn't very smart running… It's sad she had to learn this way.nicoleaonoreply@blogger.com
