Are you running safe? Take the Awareness Test

Safety is an important factor when running.  Whenever we run in the highway, we are very prone to a lot of dangers that can cost us our lives.  There are dogs who chases us.  Cars that can sweep us.  And even humans who harms us.  We have to pay attention to the road and be aware of the potential dangers that may be lurking.

Here is a simple test.  It’s a video that will test your awareness.  Just about a minute of your time.  It looks like a safety campaign for car drivers.  But we can learn from it was well and apply the lesson in our runs.  Read more to take the test.

Did you pass the test?

I can draw two lessons here.

1.  Be attentive.  Check your surroundings.  Remove distractions.  No wonder music players are discouraged in some events.

2.  Wear something visible.  Bright colors can help.  Reflectors and warning devices are best at low light areas.  Those drivers will not easily spot you if you wear clothes that blends with the surroundings.

Run safe everyone.

I stumbled upon this video at Ready To Be Rich by Fitz Villafuerte.  He blogs on financial matters and relates the awareness test to investing.  He also blogged about 8 life lessons from running a marathon after he finished a 3KM run.
