Original article: How Oprah ruined the marathon

Ed vs. Oprah -- Ed leaves no doubt he is a loser

Let me get this right - Oprah is a loser for running 26.2 miles and encouraging out of shape people to do the same?

Ed - have you heard anything about the obsesity epidemic in the United States? Training for a marathon is an incredible undertaking, especially for people who are not in good shape, and the efforts people make should be celebrated, not laughed at.

The fact that a "flabby" Oprah ran a time nearly equal to the (younger / male) author makes this all the more amusing.

While I don't like Oprah's show - I do admire her running efforts.

Cheers.
