<h2>The running community is not immune to evil.</h2>
Running is a lot of things to a lot of people. It's a place to get away, escape, and relax. It's a place to turn up the heat and test yourself. Whatever it may be to you... GENERALLY, those of us who enjoy it (or at least, <em>choose</em> it) tend to think of it in <em>positive</em> terms. Every once in a while, though... the bad, negative, and what you could consider <strong><em>evil</em> </strong>finds its way into our peaceful little running community. This very thing has been festering and growing in a local running community close to me, and it's finally reached a head. So much so that it made the local news. <strong>Guess it's time to finally address it head-on, eh?</strong>

Imagine you're a runner who's just signed up for their first half-marathon.
