Running Safety Tips

Be Safe, Run Safe
by Omar Arce

It was not long ago when it was safe for a young girl to walk alone on the streets, or for that matter, jog. Perhaps it was never really safe but it felt like it. The deaths of Chelsea King, a High school senior at Poway High, and Amber Dubois of Escondido High school have slapped everyone in San Diego county with reality. Insecurity has plagued not only the county but the mind of its inhabitants. This does not mean that young ladies can't go out for a jog. There are certain precautions that can be taken to avoid any unpleasant experience.

-Run with a partner.
-Tell someone where you are going, and your ETA.
-Run during day.
-Avoid running in deserted paces.
