Maria,
Early morning is the best time all around, I think. It is way too hot to run during the day, and in the early evening there are a lot more people out making it almost impossible to run (everyone sits on the sidewalks, and the cars, bikes, and moto taxis take over the road). At night, well that would be foolish. I got my iPod stolen at gun point a few weeks ago at 7:30. I didn`t even have it out or anything, I let a friend borrow it and it was in my back pocket as I was going home.
So now, I don`t take anything with me other than my watch. The few people that see me just make rude comments (run fatty!) and others of sexual nature, but otherwise no has chased me or anything. And if they do, all I have with me are my old watch, my house keys, and if they go to my house, a very pissed off boyfriend will greet them. That`s the best I can do until I get the boyfriend to start running with me. Thanks though. Safety crosses my mind everyday.
