Forums >General Running>My running partner died today. Please pray...
I'm so so sorry.
What a wonderful community this is. I appreciate your prayers and kind words. I promise to share more about Mike and the experience we had together. I thought about doing that earlier, but didn't know where to start.
I'll get on that soon, maybe later today.
You are amazing - as soon as I finished the first post about his death, I sort of regretted it, not sure why. But your responses and thoughts and prayers have been an encouragement.
I'll be back on later to introduce you to my friend Mike.
Thank you all.

You don't need to regret posting something like this. This is a helping place, a healing place, a place that puts you in your place sometimes, but best of all it's a community of friends that are willing to share experiences ... any and all of them. Looking forward to hearing more about Mike.
If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot run," then by all means RUN, and the voice will be silenced.

Sorry for your loss "Molsen / Mark" . We will definitely keep you and his family in our prayers. I can't imagine the shock and horror of having to go through that with my running group friends.
What was I chasing again?

I for one look forward to it.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Like Trent, I'm looking forward to hearing all about Mike. Looking at your log and "Mike's Loop" was a heartwrenching moment. I home some day you can run that route and enjoy happy memories of a wonderful friend and running partner. For now, running and stopping at his spot and praying and thinking sound a perfect way to honour him. Keeping you in my thoughts, you have been through an awful event, and it must be unimaginably hard, but please take some strength and peace from knowing that people here really do care, and also from knowing that you did absolutely everything you could for Mike and I am sure both he and his family are very blessed that you were there.
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
I am so sorry for your loss. I'm looking forward to hearing about Mike and all the memories you made together.

The saddest news I've heard in quite some time. My prayers are with Mike and his family.
This is horrible. I'm sorry you had to experience that and I can't imagine what it must have been like.
You and Mike's family are in my prayers.
I'm very very for the loss of your friend. I thought of him and his family during my run at sunrise this morning where I often see best friends running and enjoying being together. Please take care, A
Recalculating...
I sit here trying to think of what to say, to understand how you must feel, and I really can not comprehend. We hear of things like this happening, and we say it can't happen to us, even though it sits in the back of our thoughts. I'm truly sorry for your loss and sorry you had to experience the event. Mike was lucky to have you as a friend. I will say a prayer for you have his family today.
