NYT: Death of Marathon Runner

I'm not a supporter of LSD on concrete because I feel the body isn't designed to do it. Evolution and shoe design have yet to catch up with our paved world, which has blossomed very recently in the history of our organism.

There are anomalies in our species who seem better adapted to running long distances, but if you think the loss of mobility and joint integrity NFL vets face at a young age is bad, let's wait and see how today's crop of ultra runners fair two decades from now. My guess: they will have serious problems with their feet, ankles, knees, hips, and backs.

When you have your toe nails surgically removed to deal with the exegencies of ultra running, it may be time to rethink your athletic passion.

I digress. This is a bummer for this guy and his family.

Drill it.
