"Not Today, Motherfucker!" Local marathoner Kelly Herron was running through Golden Gardens park when she was attacked and pinned to the floor by a man in the restroom. Thanks to skills she learned at a self-defense class, Herron fought off the man, who Seattle Police identified her attacker as 40-year-old Gary Steiner, a registered sex offender in Arizona, The Huffington Post reports. In an Instagram post, which has since gone viral, Herron wrote that she "fought for her life" by "clawing his face, punching back, and desperately trying to escape his grip," which she learned at a self-defense class at her work. Steiner, who Herron locked in the bathroom until police arrived, was charged with "attempted second-degree rape and second-degree assault with sexual motivation," HuffPo reports.

In a follow up Instagram post thanking local media outlets for telling her story, Herron wrote that she "couldn't remain the silent, anonymous victim- there is a message of survival that is too important to remain untold."
