About a mile in, I came upon another runner who was on the other side of the road, running in the same direction. As we exchanged strides, I began to wonder if I was on the right side of the road. My question was soon answered by a SUV that passed me with only inches to spare. After my close call, I decided to look into some basic safety measures for runners and share them.
