Ooops. Maybe they should have stopped it sooner.

Yep. But the runners also should have realized that the conditions were less than ideal. I would have dropped out, or not run in the heat of the day. That was idiotic.

I just read the story on ESPN.com. The man who died was only 35. This suggests that either he wasn’t in shape for a long run in the heat, or that he had undiagnosed heart disease already. Sometimes middle-aged guys just drop, after even moderate exercise.

Wednesday is moving around more, since Shannon finds her and pokes her :-).
Good Morning!
Sounds like some of Shannon's irrational exuberance is rubbing off on Wednesday. Glad they are getting along.

I remember back in the ‘70’s some guy named Fixx started a jogging craze. He died while he was jogging, from a “silent” heart attack. He was 39.

Exercise isn’t a magic preventative for heart disease, unfortunately. There are many other factors.

See you! I need to go to Wal-mart :-). Bill and Tom will be home tomorrow, so we need lots and lots of food.

I know that from my own experience. I’ve had angina for 30 years, but it only shows up under prolonged emotional stress, or when the temperature and humidity are just right.
Tests have found nothing over the years, but I carry nirtoglycerin spray wherever I go, “just in case.”
I’m not too worried because my cholesterol and triglycerides are always on the low side.

I was going to go to Wal-Mart today, but decided I don’t feel well enough. *sigh*
Tomorrow’s another day....:o|

Always better to be safe than sorry. My husband tends to high cholesterol no matter how much he exercises, or what he eats. Our doctor keeps an eye on it.

That’s good! Mine is always around 160, and I eat red meat, dairy products, eggs, etc. My folks gave me good genes!

I’m surprised it didn’t explode. A lot of the newer variations on these things have a time fuse built in so that if they don’t hit something in 10 seconds they blow. I guess it was just luck.

Luck was right...the explosive head broke off without exploding when the RPG hit the humvee. The problem was that what remained still contained the detonator, which still could have killed the soldier and anyone in close proximity.

Afternoon, everyone! I’m making egg salad, and the catz have given up on the day. Too hot, I guess. Wednesday is under the router, and Shannon’s stretched out on the leather recliner under the ceiling fan, looking dead.
What hard lives catz have ...
