I’m impressed with Ben and Jed finishing the Denver marathon, but this crap will keep me from ever attempting one.

But be looking for a Nathan Gets Fit after my surgery.

Here, Nathan: “A study on London Marathon runners over a 20 year period, in fact, found that with a rate of death of 1 in 67,414 (representing 1 in 2,000,000 miles run) marathon running was no more dangerous than many other daily activities.” Article

Here, Ben. “…flying on a large commercial aircraft still remains one of the safest forms of transportation, and statistics suggest it has gotten even safer in recent years. There were 0.2 fatal accidents per 1 million departures in the United States in 2008, compared to 1.4 per 1 million departures in 1989, for example, and a review of the statistics in intervening years shows an improving trend overall.” Article.
