My policy is to avoid main roads and do most of my running in parks, on trails or within local neighborhoods. In neighborhoods, I ALWAYS run on the left side facing traffic and assume that every driver is either on their phone, texting or drunk.<br /><br />If you can't run in a nearby park you might want to consider scoping out a neighborhood near your home and plan a run using Google Earth or GMAPS to familiarize yourself with the various roads. You can even drive to a further neighborhood that has more streets. You can park, run and then drive home. It's fun to look at different scenery every once in a a while.<br /><br />There's also the track at local high schools. Safe, but dull unless you are running intervals. <br /><br />Please be careful when you are out on a busy street. I worry about every runner I see when I'm driving along main roads.<br /><br /><br /><br />The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-18296845131847490172012-11-11T21:38:02.453-05:002012-11-11T21:38:02.453-05:00I live in South Huntington and I have been having ...I live in South Huntington and I have been having a hard time running on the streets because of all the debris on the sides of the roads I have almost been hit a few times so I don't think I can run these roads for awhile, any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
