that athlete of the week is given to athletes at every level of competition and why p. diddy did this has a lot to do with why he was given the award. and the award was deserved both because of the charity reason and the fact that finishing the marathon in a very respectable time for the ammount of training that he went through. not everyone can run that well on that little training. i wonder if he will run anymore marathons.

I am pretty sure he said in an interview or quote somewhere that he will not be.

I totally agree. By him doing this he gave hundreds of positives to the sport and no negatives. :yes:
