Alan Webb's wife Julia says she experienced a miracle while running on the treadmill

Good for her.

Serious question: when did Alan become an expressive Christian? I followed his career very closely and don't recall him being so involved with Christianity and his faith.

it's sweat

I thought it was the paint/varnish coming off of the rosaries as she held them and they mixed with sweat.

If this miracle is scientifically verified, there needs to be a black page.

She is making a joke, right? If not, I just have to say, some people are searching for signs and desperate to see one.

A miracle is somebody being healed of cancer, a person risen from the dead, a horrible accident magically avoided when it seemed inevitable, etc.

Let's pretend that is proven to be the virgin Mary's blood weeping from the treadmill. What you have is a mess to clean up, not a miracle.

She runs while holding a rosary in her hand?

As somebody who does believe, I'm offended by the petty things people believe God gave them. Not an attack on Julia, but does the successful business man who thinks they owe their success to God not realize that implies god chose to enrich them while homeless people starve in the street? How arrogant is that?

Sounds about right to me. 10 miles on a treadmill and I'm ready for divine intervention, or to see God.

Probably something leaking from the ceiling or any number of other things.

People are free to believe what they want but when someone says something this insane, I can’t help labeling them as insane and not taking anything they say seriously.

Delusion is delusion, and confirmation bias is strong.

There are no (verified) miracles--defined as breaking the laws of physics. Some things are rare or unlikely--that doesn't make them miracles. Example: If I thoroughly shuffle a deck of cards, the resulting sequence of 52 cards has almost certainly never occurred before. "It's a miracle!" Hardly.

Likely not blood. Hopefully she reports back and doesn’t just act like it never happened if the result turns out to be disappointing.

She conveniently did not mention the prominent blood on the decrease, zero, and enter buttons. I wonder what the meaning of those were.

I also experienced a miracle on the treadmill, if by “miracle “ you mean “strained MCL”.

The real question is why is she running on a treadmill during October in Arkansas? It can't be that hot out.

lol I thought the same thing. This women is nuttier than squirrel sh!t. Omg there are some crazy a** people out there.

Webb instead of telling her to quit being a weirdo, and take a shower, actually goes to investigate bahahaha. I knew someone with a head like that had to have something wrong with them.

This would be scary weird if it wasn't so dang funny.

Oh brother!

Miracle??? More like raspberry flavoured Gatoraid spat out by the guy next to her.

There is a subset of religious people who seem to view God as some kind of poltergeist who uses his unlimited power to go around performing cheap magic tricks. Guess she's one of them.

I bought a pizza today. HOLY JESUS! There's the image of THE VIRGIN MARY in the melted cheese! I didn't see any blood, but the pizza tasted bloody delicious!

Maybe this is common with the alternate brand of cheese I asked for: CHEESES OF NAZARETH, made in Israel. Maybe it's the mayo alternative, MIRACLE WHIP, I added to the pizza (something Bill Rodgers enjoyed back in the day).

To Julia, I say awomen (not amen)!
