Are you sure about Natalie Morales' time? I believe it was 3:31:02, still very respectable and she's definitely a hot momma.

Natalie Morales is a MILF

HoW 'bout matt carpenter's 2:50-ish at SEVENTEEN thousand feet in Tibet? What does that shit convert to? (lol)

Who is Pam Reed?

I beat Rosie Ruiz - does her time really count?

Which celebrity would most like to see run a marathon who hasn't.

I could see Jerry Rice doing it if SF had a bigger event.

Pam Reed is a "well known" ultra runner. she had a somwhat public feud with Dean Karnazas last year. She also put on a marathon in AZ. I forget which one. She won "Badwater" which is a respectable feat in itself -

No Rosie's time does not count. When I re-did the list and re-posted it with a few more names I added her name and time for fun.

When I re did the list I was trying to get a few spread out times that would give people of all abilities a goal to beat. The list probably needs a few more times in the high 4 hour area and low 5 hour area as well. Especially considering the average time for women marathoners is not OVER 5 hours.

I think the list is kind of interesting to see where you line up with other "famous" people and so forth.

The qualifying time for the National Marathon is 5 hours.

What are Deano's and Reed's PRs? Are those them?

as near as i can tell those are their prs. i had to do a search on marathonguide.com for some of the times and it only goes back to 2000. i dont think dean was running before then. what pam did before that i dont know.

i did think it was funny that she has broken 3 hours and he has not. she also beat lance.

How old is Dean? Because his website said he did his first marathon when he was 14. And it also said that his 3:00:30 was New York 2006 (his 50th marathon in 50 days) so I assume he must have been able to run faster than that at some point.

Just so you know, I'm no Dean lover though. Here are his results from last week. Apparently Mr. Marathon Man has a problem with pacing also.

1:33 @ 1/2

Finish in 3:17

Dean and Pam are friends, the fact that people bring up they are enemies helps keep them in the spotlight...which they both enjoy..

Here is an updated list with a few more names and times.

All of the BQ times are there as well as some times showing where you stack up as far as percent of finishers.
