Is anyone having any issues with running in the fog? I was out there on Sunday and thankfully it cleared up a bit by the time I ran, but I still was a little nervous. I recently bought a Brooks Nightlife jacket, which is yellow and very reflective, but since there aren't sidewalks where I live I made sure that I was watching for traffic.

Yeah I ran in the fog on Sunday AM, country and county roads, mainly. I had to go into the ditch several times, the cars could not see me until they were right on top of me in some places. I had a reflective vest and orange hat, but I couldn't see their headlights, in some cases, until they were 50 yards away or less. Even so, it was better than slip/sliding on ice/snow/slush and freezing. Wink

Sunday was AWESOME in the fog. Early AM, about 200 feet visibility...me and my footsteps...almost as good as a nice snowfall. I could have gone on and on, but it is taper time before RNR AZ so I had to go home at some point...

Would love to do that more often...

However, maybe not in new or uncomfortable areas...I knew where I was and the road well..

loved the fog except for the cars. I have a blinking clip light that helps, but you got to be alert. What was up with people without headlights? This weather has been unbelievable.
