I agree with what others have posted...though I think that many runners are fooling themselves by thinking that running on cambered asphalt is better than running on a level sidewalk...just sayin'.
I also apply the "run against traffic" philosophy to MUPs. I think it makes a lot more sense when you and a cyclist can see each other.
