Here are her girls:

This is terrible.

Very unfortunate. A dear friend of mine, about ten years older, thin as a rail, without so much as an ounce of body fat...died instantly of a heart attack. Sometimes there is no real explanation for these things. Sad news for that family, indeed. :-(

[Gay State Conservative]

Cardiac...or electrolytes.We had a radiology resident at the hospital where I worked who dropped dead after some jogging.There are people,young people,who can appear healthy but have a cardiac deformity brewing.

A lot more of my contemporaries have died from exercise than have died from sitting in chair. The ratio is in excess of 20-1.

Other than that, what was her time?

...sorry, the competitive recreational runner in me.

Had a friend who was a runner, ran all his life, very healthy, kicked off on a short weekend run. Go figure.

Well there’s your problem right there. ;-)

Why in the hell do people run these crazy marathons??

I’m all for keeping fit, but the milage for these things is insane!! What does it prove???

[tflabo]

Wow— awful poor girls losing their mom. Hate to speculate but wonder if she had a leaky mitral valve?

[Hardastarboard]

Reminds me of an old joke.

Runners live 5 years longer than everybody else, but they spend the 5 years running.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

It's the Jimmy Fixx paradox. Guy was a legendary runner in the 70s and even wrote a book about it. All he did was run.

Then keeled over from a massive heart attack.

[Phillyred]

Sad. Why are so.many middle aged people running marathons these days? I don’t get it. It doesn’t seem particularly good for the body.

An autopsy Monday showed Doherty suffered an intra-abdominal hemorrhage, Lackawanna County Coroner Tim Rowland said.
