Searchers have found the body of ultrarunner Micah True, who went missing last week after going on a 12-mile run in southwest New Mexico's Gila National Forest. |

That sucks. At least he went out doing something that he loved.

Quoted:
Cougar that far from the bars? oh wait, the other kind of cougar. my bad.... |
|
Quoted:
Cougar Here in New Mexico, we call them mountain lions. |
|
Quoted:
I'm guessing heart attack. He did have a history of seizures, which isn't uncommon for boxers. |
|
Quoted: Jim Fixx? I have an original first edition autographed copy of his "Complete Book of Running". He died at 42 I think. He also wrote some mind puzzler books. |

Always a shock when a perfectly healthy athlete (at least by outward appearances) dies of a heart attack.
Some people live a life of abuse (not to name names but ... Keith Richards) and are as indestructible as coach roaches. Then others live a clean life with healthy habits and are dead by 30. My only advice is ... know your God because we never know when it's our time. |

I used to tell the First Sergeant the same thing, but he would never listen.
Running isn't really all that good for you... |

|
""Since it quickly grew dark after True's body was discovered, ground crews and people on horseback returned today to excavate him. His body will be taken to Albuquerque for an autopsy, so it will likely be a few more days before the cause of death is known, according to McDonald. ""
It will be interesting to see what happened if the word they chose was correct. |

Going to have to go with "running isn't really that good for you" or, "there are much better exercises out there". I'd take swimming or bicycling any day over running. Too hard on the feet, ankles, knees, hips and spine.
AV1611 out..... |

not a problem with running.
problem with running 200 miles a week with no medical care on dangerous trails. |

Quoted:
not a problem with running. problem with running 200 miles a week with no medical care on dangerous trails. We run for specific professional reasons. When I was a PL I kept trying to get my NCOs to plan a day of PT that would consist of walking up and down three flights of stairs in full gear. I don't care how much you run, that is a fucking workout. |

Until recently my Battery was running two miles twice a week at a 7:00 pace.
Now we are running about 14 miles total at 8:00 and 9:00 paces. Much, much better. |

I still think that rowing is the best workout for overall fitness, with the lowest potential health risks.
Keep in mind, not only am I a slow runner, but I tore my ankle up on a slow run and it was six months before I could run properly. |

Extricate would still means he is trapped and that they need to remove him from something. Evacuate MIGHT be a correct term, but I like "Extract" a little more. |

Quoted: I'm wondering if once they found him they couldn't get the body out until morning, so they buried it to keep wild animals from eating it.Quoted: Quoted: ""Since it quickly grew dark after True's body was discovered, ground crews and people on horseback returned today to excavate him.

Occasional short distance sprinting and heavy lifting are good to go. Drop your reps and increase the weight. |
