Important Running Tips for Winter! The relationship between runners and cars.

Last evening, I was driving in Newberg on Mountain View & College Street, around 4:30pm. In the 4-ish miles I drove, I counted 6 runners, not connected to each other, all running:
- In all black (sweatpants/sweatshirts/cold weather clothes).
- No lights
- Running with traffic
- Not utilizing available sidewalks on other side of street

Remember, a 20 minute run that starts with the sun out at 4:15pm will end in darkness.

Before you head out on your runs for the next few months, remember to do your part to keep the relation between runners and cars cordial and:
- Wear reflectors (try not to wear black)
- Use a light (head lamp, hold a flashlight in hand, etc.)
- Run against traffic (meaning run towards/into headlights)
- Use sidewalks, not shoulders. If you're on a wide shoulder, but the other side of the street has a sidewalk, stop running and cross the street. (Example, most of College St. in Newberg.)

Night runs can be great, but need a bit more effort in preparedness!
