Danger and running

Hannah

How do you all stay safe on runs by yourself? Today I was on a run and a man in a car continued cornering me and the third time he did, he pulled out his genitalia and attempted to kidnap me. I ran as fast as I could go a gas station and the cashier called the police where I then filed a report. I had pepper spray on me, but never once did it cross my mind to use. What do you guys do to stay safe?
