How Oprah ruined the marathon America's competitive spirit has been wrecked by feel-good amateurs like Oprah whose only goal is to stagger across the finish line.
  • America's competitive spirit? Or yours?

    For all but the most serious runners (like you, I guess), running is a "personal best" sport. Focus on your game and on those with whom you feel competitive. Don't worry about the rest of us. We're not going to trip you as you zoom by. We'll be too busy staggering.

    Enjoy the race!
