Forums >General Running>My running partner died today. Please pray...
We were on a 13 mile run. We hit 8 miles and I was about 10 paces in front when I hear, "Oh shit..."
I turn around to see my best friend collapse, unconscious.
He had a heart attack and died. I did CPR to the best of my ability, but he was dead before the EMT's arrived.
Please pray for his family. He leaves behind a wonderful wife and 2 kids.
Prayers for your friend's family and you.

Mark, I am so sorry...for you, and for his family. I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling.

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

things like this can often bring friends and families closer together, hopefully everyone involved will keep his memory close.
you can take comfort in knowing he died doing something he enjoyed.
Non ducor, duco.

Oof. This is horrible.
Headed out for the long run with my buddies in a few. Think I'm gonna suggest we all get recertified.

My thoughts are with you, and the friends and family of your running partner. I really can't imagine how you feeling.

Oh, man, what a shocking thing. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I can only imagine what it must be like to lose your best friend.
My friends and I joke about this all the time which now seems about the dumbest thing ever. I'm very sorry for your loss.
