We've talked about safety when we are out running and walking together or on our own during the week, but we should also take a quick minute to discuss Forum Safety online.

Please be careful when posting information about yourselves online in this forum. It's tempting to post email addresses, phone numbers or other information when trying to coordinate plans with running or walking partners, swapping shirts, or any other reason. A lot of us even have pictures online.

I get worried when women especially post details about where and when they will be and posting other personal info. So please take extra precautions when posting online. You never know who is reading this forum.

Your best bet is to use the Personal Message feature of this website and contact other online members directly. But still use caution communicating with people you may or may not know well. Plan to meet them first at Portland Fit or Portland Fit - South in a group setting.

Thanks and stay fit,
John
