Reminder: We Live in a City
Admittedly, this could happen anywhere, but an attack of a runner July 5 in Riverside Park in the early morning hours is a reminder that we all need to wary out there.

Early in the morning (6am), probably nobody around and she was wearing an iPod.... an awful event to have happened, but this poor woman should have been smarter and not sacrificed her sense of hearing so as to listen to music.
iPods are bad for runners for so many reasons: they have no place in races, in congested areas (to avoid bikers, cars, etc), and in dark or isolated areas.
Hopefully she pulls through and the attacker is caught...
