I would not recommend a woman running by herself, especially with headphones in, even in a highly trafficked area. There's a lot of sick mofos out there

Whenever I jog outside I carry runners' mace in my hand and turn the volumne down so low in my headphones that I can barely hear the music. Now that I think about it, the constant state of hyperawareness pretty much counteracts the mental and physical benefits of fresh air. Sucks.

I remember walking around the LSU lakes in college (early 00's) with my one of my roomates who who was from rural West Monroe and was not jaded from growing up with crime in NOLA like I was. It was getting dark out and there was a little bunny (not a wild rabbit, someone's pet) hopping near the side of the road. She tried to stop and pet it and I assumed it was a trap and we were about to get kidnapped. We didn't, but it's crazy that women have to think that way.
