Leaving aside that this article is rife with illogic--just because Oprah and a bunch of other people run slow marathons, other people are prevented from running them faster?--it seems to be self-involved.
Dude: Just because you want to run till you puke your guts doesn't mean I should, nor does it mean you occupy some kind of higher moral ground. It means that for some reason you feel the need to exert till you puke your guts. Nothing more.
Fine with me if you feel that way. But don't berate others for not wanting the same.
Salon: Why did you publish this? What standards of yours did it meet?
