It's horrid to feel vulnerable and sad that we should do so. As you say, the stats show that logically the chance of something happening to us (male or female) is low. I never share my routes on social media or post my plans. I never wear headphones. I mostly run with my dog, I hope she would sense danger and protect me. I know lots of runners carry alarms or even pepper sprays. Most of the time I feel fine but every now and then I get spooked, usually by my own imagination. I don't think you're stupid. I think it's a natural fear and taking steps to ensure your safety makes sense. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
