#287: Be Seen, Be Alert: Running Safety

Sarah and co-host Amanda Loudin are joined by prolific Portland runner Paula Harkin to discuss ways to stay safe while running in the dark. A repeat guest, Paula starts by giving an update on her nearly 9-year running streak (!!). Then the trio dives into the street v. sidewalk debate. A long-time group-run leader, race director, and co-owner of Portland Running Company, Paula explains her street-smart practice of Defensive Running; she also talks about the importance of using all of one’s skills and senses to get through a run. Amanda tells of two of her running buddies, Disco Runner and Safety Ellie. Find out the gals’ favorite reflective gear, lights, and headphones. In the intro, hear how Romeo + Juliet went for Sarah’s twins (including whether any stage-kisses occurred!) and how Philadelphia Marathon happenings went for Coach Amanda. The stay-safe conversation kicks off at 13:45. 23andMe Ancestry Service Kits are only $49 when you buy two or more: Go to 23andme.com/AMR Use code AMR for 50% off your first month of vitamins at takecareof.com Save $75 off your first order at Molekule, visit Molekule.com and use promo code AMR Thanks to Sock Club for supporting Another Mother Runner.
