As a runner for many years, I would say, if you are running outside, do

listen to music. Listen to the cars, the people who may be around you,
the
bikes who might try to pass you, etc. Keep your eyes and ears out for
anything that might cause you harm. I think it's extremely dangerous to
listen to music while you're running. Besides, I used the time to think,
hear the birds, etc.

We've been down this road before. I ride and walk and now run w/
music. Its very low, so I can hear all that is going on around me.
But it is more of a background distraction so that I don't get bored
and want to cut my exercise short. I also either do my exercise in
quiet residential neighborhoods, or on sidewalks. But I'm always
extremely observant of surrounding traffic and what is going on around
me. My music is low enough that I can have and hear a conversation
if need be.

I play my music loud and I can still hear the cars. I would never have
walked all these miles without it.
