As the daylight becomes less and less, runners must become more and more safety conscious! Those early mornings (and even early afternoons) when light is minimal, proper equipment is a must. Here are a few things we think you should have:
1. If it's really dark: Petzl Tikkina 2 headlamp (read about the specs here). If you're running in a particularly dark area with winding roads and poor visibility, consider getting a flashing red light for your backside.

2. Reflective strips (either on your jacket, or on a separate vest). This vest can be purchased for under $7 at Walmart. And this jacket by illumiNITE, is awesome:
How cool is this? Looks normal by day, and crazy-rave-ready by night!
3. And of course, always wear your RoadID! If anything should happen, you want the proper people to be contacted immediately.
What suggestions do you have for running in the dark?

I love to have reflective gear spread out throughout my body - I wear reflective straps around my ankles, a belt around my wait (both road ID), my gloves have reflective qualities, and have a blinking light from road ID I attached to the back of my headlight. OH and I turn the light of my garmin on (and leave it on). That sucker glows!!!!!
