Don't worry about blinding the runner. They're okay with it and used to it from cars anyway. I run without any lights or reflective items in the early mornings. I listen and watch for cars and move out of the way assuming they can't see me at all. However, on a MUP it is usually darker and I'll take a headlamp so I don't hit a stick or step in dog poop or something.
All these windy and cold commutes make me feel lucky. Almost 50F this morning and I only wore shorts. Gonna still be warm today, but I guess everyone's weather is coming my way tonight and tomorrow.
