Ma had some vision changes but they resolved itself with meds and her quiting smoking. But alas too late to stop her breathing problems.

It wasn’t her time. Our mother passed at the age of 84.

Condolences to you and your family.

What was the temp? For this one it was in the 60s and 70s. Not very hot.

One of the Russian new outlets mentioned this much earlier today, so I figured it was Fake News.

Bummer for the family.

It’s a combination of heat - which is higher on city pavement than what’s recorded by NWS - humidity, and exertion. Air pollution can be an issue, too.

White people were responsible for the injuries.

That was the first two hours of the race. For anybody still running in the third hour, the temperature went into the 80's.

You’ve probably seen the rear window sticker of those bragging about running a marathon, a white horizontal oval imprinted with 26.2. Even better are the the ones imprinted .262.
