I use the west Seattle track often. I see many others using the track during rain, wind, whatever. It’s a silent bond we have out there, but still we manage to cheer each other on or make a comment about the weather. I may not know who it is that passed away yesterday and I may know him a bit from ” track talk” , still I was very sad to read this story. It feels like losing a teammate and ally. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

This is a sad, sad story. It serves to remind me of other cities where death is such a commonplace that it barely registers any longer. Any man’s death does continue to diminish us all.

I just heard from a former co-worker that another co-worker’s husband died yesterday, of an apparent heart attack while jogging. Since she and her husband live in WS, I have a feeling that the victim in this article is her husband. I haven’t had a chance to speak to her yet, but if it is him, he was very young for a heart attack–late forties, MAYBE early fifties.
Very sad news.
