It has been a fair bit of physical effort to get ready to even prepare to train for the Los Angeles Marathon. It has helped me get in much better shape and honestly, even allowing for some injuries and pain, I have had fun.
Today, though, was a reminder it may not always be fun. The news reported three runners had died during the Detroit Marathon. An older runner fell and died from a skull fracture and two younger runners also died while running. What terrible news for their families and friends.
I guess it is a reminder that the training is done for a reason and it does take work to give each runner the best chance to succeed, finish, and even live. It is going to be a physical and mental challenge. Godwilling, I will pass it.
