Thank you for sharing that brianwspencer, what a sad moment and the same way many of us have felt at one time or another. It's easy to get attached to a certain runner when you have so much passion and excitement for the sport. This is a poem that was posted on another forum some time ago:

Remember Me

When you hear the thunder
remember me
for those are my hoofbeats
upon your heart
deep in the night.

Do not fear the lightning
and remember me
for my hooves strike sparks
so you may see
in your darkest hour.

And when the rain falls
remember me
for those are my tears of joy
as I run with the sky herd
free of rein and pain and heavy burden.

Look up and remember me
for you will see the shape of my
fiery head thrown high
among the clouds,
warmed by sun but even more
because you remember me.
