Lighting up the Night

These days a lot of people choose to run at dusk or after the scorching hot sun has set. I have a couple of thrifty ideas to keep you well lit on a night run without investing in expensive gear.

As a womean I am going to say this to all of you ladies out there. If you are going to run at night protect yourself. Be aware of your surrounds, actually I will just use the words of Mad Eye Moody...

CONSTANT VIGILANCE

One of the best things you can do is make sure you are seen. Light up things will make you more visible at night. Here are two great inexpensive ways to do that.  

Glow Bracelets - grab them from the dollar bin at most stores, then grab two, snap them and put them on. 

Cheap Halloween safety lights. You can get these super cheap during and especially after Halloween. They last a really long time and are inexpensive enough to not cry over if they are lost or dropped and broken. Most come with a clip so you can attach it to your shorts, shirt or armband. 

Nice cheap ways to be seen. Also if you want to get more than one use out of your glow bracelets put them in the freezer after your run and when you go for your next run that them out and they will glow again. 

Happy Running.
