• 9.Sean Combs (P. Diddy), 2003 New York City Marathon (4:14:54)
I have to give it to music mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. He trained for only about two months, was running on a bum knee, and still managed to pull out a sub-4:15 marathon. He also raised $2 million for children's charities and New York City public schools in the process.

• 5.Oprah Winfrey, 1994 Marine Corps Marathon (4:29:15)
One of the most common questions I hear from marathoners in regards to their goal times is, "What do I have to run to beat Oprah's time?" or "I want to beat Oprah!" Going sub-4:30 is a popular goal time for marathoners anyway, but knowing that they beat Oprah's marathon time is usually icing on the cake for people who reach that goal.
• 4.Al Gore, 1997 Marine Corps Marathon (4:54:25)
If you're hoping to beat a politician's time and think Bush and Palin's marks are a little out of your league, Al Gore's time is a lot more achievable.
