Are you kidding me?

So I opened up Yahoo today and was horrified to see that one of the headlines said, "3 die running Detroit 1/2 marathon, autopsies to follow".  They were 26, 36, and 65 years old, respectively.  I don't even know where to begin with my comments on this.  Do you? Anyway...this link does clear up a thing or 2 and helps answer some questions that automatically came to my mind: 3 Detroit Marathon Deaths Likely a Fluke - Yahoo! News

    Ya, Like the article said:
    "But among people who properly train for a marathon and work their body up to such a peak performance, heart failure is very rare.


    '"I think the overlying message has got to be marathon running is good for your health," Sallis told LiveScience. "It prevents far more deaths than it ever causes. If people use this as a reason not to run, that would be the ultimate damage." '

    DON'T STOP!!!!!
