Recommendations for a running flashlight ?

That's always been my experience. Stealth running is safer than running with lights. There's a study around that found drunk drivers drive toward lights! Just know (and be thankful) that you are not seen and run accordingly.

I'm not convinced that it's better to NOT be seen (Monty Python notwithstanding ), though I can imagine some A--hole driving close just to mess with the freak on the road.

I normally don't get a reaction from motorists when I run. Two days after getting my Illuminite suit some guy yells "Hey, that's a bright shirt!" out his window as he speeds past (he sounded drunk, too.)
