I never run with headphones anymore and I have apps on my phone that alert my family members when I'm running and I pause for more than 5 minutes. I try to be as conscientious as possible when I'm running. I'm sorry it hit so close to home for you.

I agree with you though as far as maintaining our freedom to run, but being aware of surroundings. I find myself frequently scanning the area in front of me when runs and try to remember to check behind me every few minutes.

We haven't really had the #MilesforMollie here in the UK, we didn't get much reporting on her, which is crappy but I suppose we've had our own stuff (a double murder of two women by the daughter's ex-boyfriend is our local news at the moment, ugh). But I will gladly dedicate my club run to her tonight in honour, too, of my American running friends. I hate that in this situation women get told what to do rather than men being reminded to not rape and murder us. Hm.
