A recent article came out about female joggers who have been killed in the last year. Ranging from NYC to Iowa, jogging day and night. I can't believe how many people are victim blaming. Having lived in Memphis (I didn't know her) and a runner myself, I also ran early because the humidity is horrible. This is so terrible to read about. |
I don’t go out in the dark alone, that’s for damn sure. |
Do you know the victims name? Your rants are out of place. You’re just doing this for your own kicks now. Nice hobby. |
Oh christ, sometimes it is about just about avoiding the heat and having the time in a busy day (hence early runs). I ran 7 and at a time was very into it. I also had a training partner I did my long runs with. I never 'talked the talked' or thought it was a badge of honor and that was a lifetime ago--my late 20s/early 30s. Running is great for the mental health, very therapeutic. This was a horrific murder/kidnapping. I can't imagine what the family and community is going through. I think we can stop blaming the victim now. |
Your projection isn’t fooling me, you ghoul. |
