It was a very nice weekend for running. But my pleasure in the run was tempered by the news that last Sunday a woman was murdered while running in Fairmount Park. I had just recently written about the joys of running in the park.
I didn’t know Rebecca Park, but I know dozens of Rebecca Parks. I train with them, race with them, and run the trails and roads with them.
It’s a cliché to say life isn’t fair – but it isn’t. It saddens and angers me that this kind of violence is visited who someone who was doing nothing more than I do everyday without concern.
Don’t have any answers or wise words just deep sadness that it is so.
