Reminder: Reflective Apparel

I think I'm going to repeat this:

It's that time of year again! Although Day Light Savings Time doesn't start until November 1st, it's already getting dark enough that you need to start wearing some type of reflective gear or light for Tuesday Night's workout. We may have some to sell to you, but I'd recommend you pick something up ahead of time. Fleet Feet usually has something in stock.
Run Safe!

car break-in on University Ave

Hi Chips,

I just wanted to warn you of yet another car break-in on University Ave.
near Sacramento State. I was parked near the river access yesterday morning
(10:00 am) as far away from the underpass as I could and close to homes, yet
after a 50 minute run, I found my passenger front window smashed in. I had
over $1,000 worth of things stolen (including my wallet and my house keys
and car keys to both my cars, as I put my main set of keys in the car's
middle console). Nothing was in view, but they tore apart my car and found
my stuff.

It was heart wrenching and a total hassle! Please be advised that this is
not a safe area to park. I am certain the thieves were watching and waiting
for me to get out of my car and go for a run. Then they seized the
opportunity.

What a bummer!
