Lighten up Ed...
If ever there were a trend that DOESN'T deserve this kind of bemoaning and badmouthing, it's the increased popularity of marathon running. I personally coudn't complete a marathon in 5 days, much less 5 hours...but I am deeply admiring of those who run and finish, even in non-competitive time frames. To say nothing of the handicapped folks who "run" in walkers and weelchairs. Or have they ruined the sport for you too?
And, while we're at it, until you've risen above humble beginnings as a black female, earned a couple of billion dollars, and run a marathon for good measure, shut the $%&* up about Oprah too.
