As a runner, it is extremely important to carry identification with you. Ever since Ashlyn Dyer died while running through the Presidio just days before her LA Marathon, it got me thinking about all those close calls with cyclists, drivers, and other stupid pedestrians while running in San Francisco. You should always be aware of your surroundings and tell someone where and when you are running. (Although it's your personal choice, I also advise against the use of headphones and iPods yet no one ever listens to me .) But when you encounter a situation that's beyond your control, having identication is the best way other people can rush you to safety. Don't be caught dead without ID! I'm never running on the trails or on the road without one!
