Sad news out of Toronto this morning: Danny Kassap died early this morning after pulling out of the Sporting Life 10k yesterday.

Danny trained with the U of T track team until he had heart problems in the Berlin marathon in 2008. I trained with him for a few months in 2008. He was a very nice guy who was always smiling and joking around. I have never heard anyone say a bad word about him.
I briefly ran into him before the race yesterday and he started the race, but I passed him at about 2 kilometres, and he was labouring and not looking comfortable. Apparently he did not feel well later in the evening and was taken to the hospital, but he died overnight. The cause of death has not been reported.
