People commented things like "only people with low self esteem run". My mind is boggled by what the sedentary have led themselves to believe. I live in a small, rural community and I get some NASTY looks from moms and overweight women at the soccer fields. I'm told that I'll die and that I'm crazy and stupid, etc. I'm like you, I would rather die running than in a car wreck.Coy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144649093762262574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855701495072852475.post-68698409600389429802011-11-22T18:46:52.142-05:002011-11-22T18:46:52.142-05:00Great post.

I replied by explaining to them that MILLIONS of people successfully run marathons each year and that most marathoners are much healthier than the average person. I also told them that more people would die in KC from car accidents than running deaths this year. But NON-ACTIVE people use these type of articles to justify their doing nothing. I think anyway.Jim ... 50after40https://www.blogger.com/profile/14165153305680378261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855701495072852475.post-21957148183956831552011-11-22T12:09:53.410-05:002011-11-22T12:09:53.410-05:00I agree with you to.

After my own incident I know I will. Why not have all 26000 finish the race alive...that is better than 25 998..I know you agree with this. <br /><br />people who are not runner will say marathon are dangerous...that is ignorance<br /><br />people like my husband will say hearing about those deaths scares him..I get that. <br /><br />The big turkey dinner is on Christmas Day for us!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784257254057007640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855701495072852475.post-57496392958158291262011-11-21T20:17:30.332-05:002011-11-21T20:17:30.332-05:00Great post!
