    How on earth. Well, only in America (ok... only on american TV, I grant you that one)

    When people start telling me how 'religious' they are, I take that as code for "I've done some sleazy things but I'd like you to look past them for no good reason."
    One of the things that made me abhor mainstream christianity.

    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    There is certainly no shame in failure.
    The only way to guarantee %100 success is to never try.

    This is especially heinous in light of the audience I would think they are trying to inspire.

    I don't watch that show, so I didn't know about this. Despicable!!!! There's no shame at all in trying and not accomplishing a goal. I fail all the time at things, and that's OK. They shouldn't exaggerate their accomplishments- you either did it or you didn't. I'd be impressed if he ran a half, he doesn't have to lie about the full (either marathon or IM).
