Susan was a slave to her schedule. Rain or shine, she laced on her running shoes and set out on her daily jog. She left at the same time, ran the same route, and arrived home at the same time.
It was like clockwork. And the schedule that gave Susan comfort gave the mugger opportunity. Susan knew there was trouble the moment he pulled his car beside her on the curb and asked for directions.
She kept running, he kept following. This day belonged to Susan, though. A mounted policeman crossed her path, and she yelled for help.
On Your Mark
1. If you are a new runner, visit your physician for a complete medical examination if you have high blood pressure or lipids; a personal or family history of health problems; or if you are: over 35 years of age; overweight; physically inactive and easily fatigued; a smoker.
2. Get fit before starting to run. Consult a medical professional for strengthening exercises and stretches for running.
3. Warm up before you run. Afterwards, cool down to enable your body to gradually return to normal.
Plan Carefully
4. Choose a safe time and place to run. Walk the route first.
5. If possible run on grass or dirt. Knee injuries can occur if you run on hard surfaces.
