Where do you fit in?

I'm not much of a celebrity-watch person, but there's something intriguing about charting "famous" people and their marathon times. I guess it comes down to, they're just as human as we are. So, here's my collection of famous people and their best marathon times. I'm going to keep this updated as I discover more. Feel free to post updated info as a comment.

And, yes, anyone 90 years or older that finishes a marathon is a celebrity in my book.
