After a seemingly healthy 28 year old man, Steve Rosenburg, collapsed during the Callaway Gardens Marathon in Pine Mountain, Georgia, doctors are questioning the health benifits of running a Marathon. Rosenburg was taken to the hospital right away to determine what was wrong. He had no previous records of health issues regarding his respitory system or his joints yet his left lung collapsed and his right ACL and MCL were both torn for a seemingly unfathamable reason: running marathons is not healthy. But how could that be true?
After looking at other cases with similar outcomes of young people running marathons, the specialists at Georgia State Hospital determined the main cause was just too much strain on the human body. One of Rosenburg's physical therapists, Dr. Angela Green began looking into if there are any real health benifits from running a Marathon. "Theoretically, the human body should be able to run the 26.2 miles in its best shape yet so many young, healthy men and women are facing extreme health issues," states Dr. Green. She went on to discuss that even though many people do run marathons, they are putting a great deal of unneeded stress on their body to try and get in shape when in reality going to the gym for an hour a day, 3 or 4 times a week would have the same effect.
Unsurprisingly, after extensive research Dr. Green and her colleuges came to the final conclusion that besides having something to brag about, Marathons do little to keep a person healthy. In fact, even the most fit people, like Steve Rosenburg, have a hard time with such a distance as the human body was not built to run all those 26.2 miles at once.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
