I just finished the Nike Marathon in San Francisco on 10/21. I did it for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through Team in Training. Never, ever would have considered this without the TnT support and training. I raised nearly $3K for cancer research, got to meet Joan Benoit Samuelson, Bonnie Chastain and The Penguin, and had great coaches, mentors and made a handful of wonderful caring people I call friends. I was high for a week after the half--and still very proud of what I did. I came in as the 503 ranked woman in my age group--age 51/female. What did McClelland's training every do for another human being? I am still getting in shape, plan on continuing to train with TnT and doing the full marathon next year. I am really sorry Oprah and I have ruined your pure sport. But then Oprah has also ruined reading by selling millions of books, schools by focusing on education--and probably ruined the billionaire class too by becoming its first African-American female member. Good Gawd, Oprah, have you no shame? You keep ruining things for white middle aged men!
