gruesome

Posted on April 30, 2007 by JH

I’ve just been reading this story on the Age about Bob Woolmer:

Murdered Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer was poisoned before being strangled, rendering him powerless to fight back against his killer

Geez…. these Pakistani-cricket-coach murderers don’t mess around do they? It’s a wonder they didn’t have him hung-drawn and quartered while they were at it.

Another slightly unpleasant death in the news is this guy, who died after running the London Marathon the weekend before last. There’s a bit of controversy on Cool Running at the moment about whether they guy died because of too little water, or too much water and wether he was fit, or superfit, or some kind of slob.

Anyway you slice it, it’s pretty scary. Still, they’ve only had 9 deaths in 25 years. They probably have tens of thousands of entrants every year, so the odds are still pretty good.

Touch wood.

I have no intention of leaving famous last words on this, or any other, blog.

Running
8k on saturday followed by some downhill strides. Then a long run yesterday taken reasonably quickly - 37.something all up in 2hours 50. Not too bad I suppose.

    yes, the bob wolmer stuff is terribly sinister, I mean really, at the end of the day, It’s just not cricket (god, I have been dying to use that, no disrespect intended)

    Seriously, I fell so sad for his family, what a horrible thing to happen, and it just seems to get worse.
