I will walk in the road in future!
If you run on the road, facing traffic, and you are paying attention, generally you have time to get out of the way if needed. Also, don't run using the heel-strike method (where you land on your heel). Run on the front of your feet and let your ankle (which is a lever) deal with the shock, instead of your joints getting the shock. Unfortunately, this technique come into favor too late for me - the damage was done - with very expensive shoes no less!
