To LePitieChoux: Gandalf was apparently striving in thought, trying to avoid the Balrog. Once they fled, it sensed their terror. You'd be suprised how far you can run when your life is on the line! But Aragorn was a Ranger, which means he's always in tip-top shape, the same probably went for Borimir (the shape part),the hobbits had lost many pounds, I'm sure, but notice they are staggering across the Brige of Kazad-dum, except Legolas of course. I agree with you that Mithril doesn't protect you that much, in the book he was, 'deeply bruised & found it painful to breathe or talk'. In the movie he jumped right up, and ran to the bridge (Aragorn carried him quite a ways in the books).
