that running in a marathon is scary

I have thought about running in a marathon, and planned to do so with my uncle. But this news story scared me a little bit.



3 people died in the Detroit marathon... jeez I didn't know that could happen, one of them was as young as 26! They were all unconnected from different parts of the US and they died at different parts of the race from seemingly different things. Some are saying that one fell down and hit his head which is scary for a race and unfortunately I believe it could happen if you get in the fast rougher crowd, others are saying that they died of heart attacks which is scary but I think it is unlikely. It was only a half marathon though it was hot I doubt heart failure can occur that fast.



This is bad news for marathons though. We will definitely see a drop in marathon attendances. I personally will not shy away but I can understand if people do. But of course we all don't have to run until we die... you could just give up.......
