Runners in the news

Why is it that whenever runners are in the news, it's that they (a) found a dead body, (b) got run over by a car, or (c) were attacked by some wild animal? Obviously as runners, we don't always consider all the dangers inherent in our sport.

Take, for instance, the story of this woman, who was attacked by a rabid fox while running and ran a mile with the fox clamped on her arm. When she reached the trailhead, she wrapped up the fox, threw him in her trunk, and drove to the hospital.

On the flip side, it did land her the feature spot on Letterman...
