Actors/Athletes

Something really irks me about actors participating in athletic events like marathons and triathlons, it might be that I have to balance a full time job, family and the pocket book in order to afford a coach, gear and entry fees in order to race and all these stars have to do it turn down the next film role and train with world class coaches and Olympic champions. So after a lot of thought this is how I have decided to deal with my frustration; I find out the times that these movie stars are coming in at and that is my time to beat just to prove that the best coaches can't make you fast or able. Worked out for the run of the US Open compared to Matt Damon's 59:54 for his 10K at the Miami Triathlon and I came in at 52:03 and that was with him only doing the running leg and I had already swam nearly a mile and biked 25 miles, so Ha! suck on that!

Now I have my first marathon goal time.
