Staying safe on the road!
Do you love the fall? Do you love how the scenery is popping with bright vivid
colors on every tree lined street? Do you love that first cup of hot chocolate each
autumn season, how you look in a turtleneck, or that scent of a fireplace burning in
the air? Well if you answered yes to any of these questions, chances are you enjoy
exercising outdoors this time of year. But with this stimulating season comes a few
risks to runners and riders alike. Here are some quick tips to staying safe while staying
fit:
* Wear Bright Colors: Look through every athletes workout attire and you will
various shades and shapes of the color black. Yes, black clothing is slimming and looks
good, but black clothing while training outdoors during dusk and dawn is so slimming
that drivers can not see you! Get noticed! Wear bright, exciting, almost annoying
colors when riding your bike and running along the roads. Make sure you gear has
reflective piping or add your own reflective accents to your equipment. Strap a light
on your bike or even your body.
* Slippery When Wet: No, we are not talking about Bon Jovi's leather pants, but all
of those beautiful and colorful leaves that fall from the trees and lay on the ground.
There is no way to gain any kind of traction for athletes and automobiles alike. So be
very cautious when out there on the streets. The leaves make it very hard for cars
and athletes to stop and grip the road. Try keeping your workout on clean streets
and sidewalks.
* How Do You Like Them Apples?: Ipods, Mp3's, nano's, IPhones, etc, are very cool
modern day devices but also distracting. Try running without the music sometimes,
especially at night. Everyone is in a rush after work and you need to be aware of your
surroundings. I know, its hard, and I feel hypercritical after downloading 75 new
songs this week. If you need to have the music, keep the volume at a level that you
can still here horns and sirens, no need to hitch a free ride to Lutheran Medical Center
with BRAVO.
