So, big houston marathon this weekend. 26.2 miles. People came from all over the world to race. (race was actually won by two ethiopians, actually). This article (http://chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4470490.html) is one of the stories about the marathon that made the paper.
What bugs me is that not one of the stories that made the paper tell about the number of people who had strokes and heartattacks during the race. Not one story mentions the three people who died during the race. Yup, three people's hearts just gave out, including one 22 year old guy. (One of my coworkers is also an EMT, and the EMTs were busy during the marathon).
Anyway. Thought that was morbidly interesting. Also interesting that it would be blotted out from the media. Makes sense, though, if the race is sponsored by the city, and the city would not want people to not race, ya know...

I guess that makes sense. Because sometimes in life you die. Or. Something?
