I thought we all learned from our parents how to be a good pedestrian, but apparently that's not the case. I personally would prefer to incur my injuries doing something fun, rather than in a collision with a moving object, and I imagine a lot of you would agree. Bottom line if you want to be safe on the road: if there is no sidewalk, you must stick to the LEFT side of the street. This way you see all on-coming traffic and can move out of the way. This is especially important if you listen to music while you run because you might not hear someone approaching from behind.
On a related note, it is not a good idea to teach your kids to ride a bike on a heavily traveled bike/running path.
OK, rant over. Go out and be good citizens!
