Teacher Mauled to Death by Wolves in Alaska

Could be worse, could the bears of Tsingtao. Beer-chugging bears from an industrial port city in China. Could be very troublesome if found in the United States.

It is worse: German beer, no less. Tsingtao was a colony, and the Germania brewery was founded there in 1903!

Pretty good, too. My drink of choice when going out for Chinese.

To complete the threadjack, I'm glad I live in Indiana and carry whenever I can. There's a pack of coyotes around my place. Kinda scary to hear them howl at night.

People usually taste (and smell) like what they eat. You know that old "vegetarians taste better" joke? It can often be true. If you wanna taste bad, load up on dairy products.

Off hand I can't think of any "dangerous" predator that a human could outrun?

A shark?

Also you never go alone for many reasons. The big cats only hit singles as well and they scare the crap out of me more than bears or wolves. I have had them stalk me and was lucky to have dogs with me.

Also Keep in mind when you run from a predator you enforce the predator/prey relationship and solidify yourself in the prey position. A lot easier said than done. But the principle is the same as in teaching to defend against human predators. Do what you can to make the predator think it just became the prey and your chances of surviving go way up. Predators don't want a fight they want a hunt. Unless it is a territory issue.

As far as what to carry while jogging? Since most exercise clothing isn't going to support a holster very well my recommendation would be to use a fanny pack across the shoulder and opposite hip. This way it is against your core and won't affect your movement much but still easily accessible.

Those in GFW areas should seriously consider pepper spray. It is an irritant that affects the mucus membranes. So if it has eyes, a nose or an a** hole it will do it's job.
