Running before sunrise used to feel like playing Frogger with half-asleep commuters — I couldn't see the sidewalk cracks and they couldn't see me.

BUT (and it's a big but) I sometimes need a little motivation to get myself out and walking every day rain or shine. Note: this list contains affiliate, cash back, and referral links.
