At Least Keep The Ear Buds Loose
-
As a runner/jogger/plodder who DOES wear earbuds while running/jogging/plodding, I know to keep the volume low enough to be able to hear what's around me. And stories like this are a reminder of how important that is: a woman jogging in Tampa got hit by a garbage truck and killed, and she may have never seen or heard the truck before she got, as one witness said, "ya know, smashed." But there's also the issue of whether the truck driver, said to be "in shock," really should have seen if there was a pedestrian or runner by the truck. Either way, it's important to be aware of your surroundings. (WFLA-TV/Tampa)
