Last week an incident happened here in Michigan that
reinforced the idea from my previous posting about the importance of having identification
when we run. A runner here in Lansing collapsed, apparently of a heart attack,
while running on the MSU campus. He did
not have identification, and posts popped up on running groups on social
network sites asking if any of us could help in identifying the man, who later
died. He was identified as a professor in the chemistry department on
campus, but that was several hours later. What a horrible tragedy, compounded
by the complication of not being able to immediately identify the man or notify
his family.
It is so important for us all to have identification with
us, even when we are running in very familiar surroundings. I would like to
help with this by offering a free Road I.D. to one of my lucky readers. To enter the contest, just click on the link
below to go to the Road I.D. site. Decide which of the I.D.s would be right for
you. Then leave a comment here on this post or on the Facebook page saying “I
need a Road I.D….” and the type of I.D. you like best. The contest will end on midnight October
31, with the winner selected by random drawing on November 1st. Good luck!!
