Anyone out there running in the Marathon tomorrow?

I hadn't heard that. How awful!

I think, when you are exercising you should always stop if you start to feel at all poorly. Or at least slow down a lot.

Heroes, all of them though.

Nightowl I agree entirely , as it seems be a very punishing race

Very sad Nonu and such a young woman, only 30 I believe. I know that after what happened to Fabrice Muamba (apologies if I have spelt his name wrong) there were calls for routine health tests for young athletes and it does seem as if this would be a good idea.

It was very sad to read in this mornings paper of the death of one of the marathon runners

You are jesting aren't you. I am a very good skier, cross-country skier and a very passable snowboarder - but I just cannot run for toffee (maybe to save my life, but I've never tried).

I'm taking part from my bed - more relaxing

I got up too late.

Me neither, but good luck to all those brave people
