Killing of female jogger a tragic reminder

Female runners know they are different than men.
Physiology aside, women know their pursuit of fitness will never take the same route as men. Literally.
The killing of a Vancouver woman in the wooded Pacific Spirit Park near UBC hasn’t strayed far 
from the top headlines.
Not only was the death of Wendy Ladner-Beaudry apparently random. She was also the sister of a well-known former city counciillor.
What gave the story even more resonance in this part of the world where we love to exercise outdoors is that Wendy was a runner – like tens of thousands in Vancouver and Victoria.
Any woman who runs has heard the safety advice:
Don’t run alone, especially at night.
Be alert when you run.
Vary your route.
Trust your intution if anything seems suspicious.
