Read this article from the Sunday edition of the Clarion Ledger:
RIDGELAND
Woman attacked on exercise path
Police are looking for a man who attacked a woman on the Ridgeland Multipurpose Trail on Sunday morning.
Around 10 a.m., a man came from behind the woman, knocked her down and began to physically assault her, police said.
The woman was able to escape and get help.
The suspect indicated he had a gun but never displayed one, Ridgeland Police Department Lt. John Neal said. The motive of the attack is unclear, he said.
Police said the suspect, wearing a white T-shirt and dark-colored nylon wind pants with a white stripe along the leg, ran toward Harbor Drive and Rice Road.
Anyone with information on the attack is asked to contact the Ridgeland Police Department at (601) 856-5210.
Be careful out there everyone, especially us girls!!!!!

Scary stuff. I think I'm glad I didn't know about this before I went running alone Sat. a.m. in Shreveport on a multi use trail.
Re: chafing on thighs -- I wear pretty long (to just above the knee) tight fitting shorts and haven't had any problem with my thighs. I can't imagine wearing shorts that "ride up" or that leave my thighs exposed enough to rub together (Bleh!)
I'm glad you're back and blogging again! Thanks for the encouragement!

There was an attack a year or two ago on that trail, too so don't ever run or walk on it alone!!!
This makes me sad. It seems there's no safe place for a woman to run alone :(
