Be Cautious!

I mentioned in my blog a couple of weeks ago about an attack that occurred in my area while a woman was walking in broad daylight with numerous people in the vacinity. Since that time I have had a renewed appreciation for the need to be cautious when one is out jogging or walking or whatever. Unfortunately, there are a lot of "crazies" out there who have nothing better to do than to stalk women so we must have our guard up and be aware of what is going on around us and who is around us. I attended a lecture given by a policeman earlier this week and he stressed the need for women to take precautions when they are outside exercising. He suggested taking your dog with you or perhaps pepper spray or a cell phone or a whistle. I think those were all good suggestions and will try to be more aware as I take my morning walks from now on.
