He finished the New York Marathon, just like he said he would today. He also beat his goal, which was to beat Oprah Winfrey's time of 4 hours and 29 minutes, when she ran a marathon in '94.

This is a big deal, I think. 26.2 miles, I couldn't do that. He decided two months ago he was going to do it, lost 15 pounds, and with his work schedule, trained enough (with a bad knee) to complete the entire race. Most people train 6 months, he trained 2 and still finished. Puffy has one of the most amazing work ethics in the business, I've got nothing but respect for that.

Also, he was hoping to raise 1 million dollars for new york public schools by completing the race, i'm not sure if he made that figure or not, but I'm sure he'll probably chip in the rest if he didn't reach it.
