Runner's Forum: How Oprah Ruined the Marathon

I ran my first 25k in May, my goal wasn't to be the fastest, my goal was to complete the distance, of which I did.  I don't think Oprah ruined the marathon, I think she convinced people like myself that if you want something bad enough, and are willing to work for it, you CAN do it!  burgalurg - I agree!  I worked my butt off preparing for that race, I gave up allot to train and train hard and the hard work paid off when I crossed that finish line!
