For women, it’s hard living in a world where you know that there is often risk when it comes to personal safety in almost anything you do.

One woman recently documented a day when she was followed by a man in his car while she was simply trying to get in a daily run.

Samantha Mac (@sageandmaize) is a TikTok content creator who often makes videos where she documents her running trips.

Recently on a 42-degree day, she filmed herself trying to run for eight miles as she had been preparing for her second half-marathon.

Sam’s viral video started like any other, with a cute running ‘fit check’ and a little introduction explaining how far she’d be running.

Mile by mile, Sam checked in with her viewers to give them an update on how the run was going and to answer any questions they had for her.

By mile four, she was warming up and feeling great. By mile five or six, her video took a dark and unexpected turn.

“I’m on my run right now, and there’s this guy in a red car that’s driven by me twice,” Sam frantically says in the middle of her run.

Sam told her viewers that the man was driving what appeared to be a red Pontiac. Every time he drove past Sam while she was running, he would roll down his window and look back at her.

“I don’t know if I’m being paranoid or what,” Sam tells her viewers. “Documenting this just in case.”

After about 10 minutes, Sam realized that she was worrying for the right reasons. She saw the car parked down the long road she was running on.

It was an especially tricky situation because she had to run past the man in order to get to her own car.

Later on in her video, she explains that the man was parked in an area where no one could hear her cry for help if something were to happen. She stopped to assess the situation and knew that she would need her parents to come and pick her up.

As Sam filmed herself trying to find a safe place to wait for her parents, the man began to pull out of his parking spot and drive towards her. She continued to walk in the other direction, beginning to cry from fear.

Thankfully, she noticed someone in the front yard of a house that she often runs past. She told the homeowner that she was being followed and asked them if she could wait in their yard for her parents. Once her parents came, and she was safe, she contacted the police.

“Please be aware of your surroundings when you are going on runs,” Sam warns her viewers at the end of her video. “If you have a gut feeling that something doesn’t feel right, please go with that gut feeling.”

We’re so glad that Sam was able to get home safely! Trust your gut, everybody.
