So I got an e-mail today forwarded from my Director. It seems my old manager, and fellow Marine, died about 10 days ago.

He was 51/52 had 2 small kids (3 & 1) and had recently moved to Denmark with his family (his wife is Danish). He was running a 5K run with some co-workers and just dropped dead, literally right in front of the biggest hospital in Denmark and there was nothing anyone could do.

I'm totally shocked, because in his early 50's he was in as good or better shape than I was in my early 20's!!

I guess the reason I'm posting this is to remind everyone how short life can be. Don't take things for granted, and never forget tell those you love that you love them as it might be the last time you see them or they see you.

I'm sorry babe. Sad

It's so weird to think someone in such great shape, who ran a ton, would drop from a 5K.

I recently learned that I girl I hung out with a lot last year in my dorm died at the end of August. She was 18. =\

Sorry to hear about it EC, the world definitely isn't fair with that kind of stuff.

sorry to hear that.

Let's think about this for a minute. EC's buddy dies running, HF's teacher dies running....apparently excessive exercise is bad.
