Early morning owl attack

Looking for advice from any early morning walkers or runners who have ever had encounters with territorial owls around here. Early this morning I was running by Duke when an owl attacked my head. I have long hair that was in a braid so maybe that didn’t help my case. I saw a post where someone said they heard of it happening to another runner as well in the same area recently. Has anyone found a solution or know of anything to deter owls? I am pretty shaken up and scared to run in that area again.

Update: ran in a hat with two blinking red lights this morning. I saw an owl fly in front of me on a different road and wasn’t attacked so maybe it’s a temporary solution
