Jog only where the path is reasonably well lit and you can see well ahead of you on the path in order to avoid potential ambushes.
An airhorn, a whistle, a small can of pepper spray, and a small taser: Any of these items are small enough to not slow you down and still provide decent self defense.
Keep in mind that you are set up to run; your attacker is not. Running is an option.
Leave all of your electronics at home. It's not only good to unplug, but not having those expensive items makes you less of a target. If you so wish, you can buy a cheap MP3 player that is as programmable as you want, but leave your good one at home.
If you can, jog with friends. If not, jog where people can see you.
