Athlo Blog

I came across CompleteRunning, a fairly large network of running blogs, the other day.  One of their most popular posts that caught my eye was 25 Celebrities Who’ve Run A Marathon.  I’m not really one for tabloid magazines or Hollywood gossip but I thought it would be interesting to see how my one marathon time compares to some of the rich and famous.  

The author’s list of 25 had a wide range of people, anywhere from David Lee Roth to George W. Bush.  Even that guy who played RoboCop was on the list.  Would you believe that George W’s time is better than RoboCop? And unfortunately both of their times were faster than mine.    

The post does not give any insight as to how anyone on the list trained, or how Oprah’s finish time smoked AC Slater’s, but the captions are entertaining to read.  Check it out and see if there are any that surprise you.   Hopefully my next marathon time will be enough to beat our current President!
