 NEW YORK (P. Diddy Fans Website) - Despite suffering leg cramps for over half the course, rapper Sean 'P Diddy' Combs completed the New York marathon yesterday. Combs did the run in aid of charity and finished in a time of four hours, 14 minutes and 54 seconds. Known on the course simply as 'No 30792', Combs kept a respectable pace for much of the 26.2-mile race. Combs shed about 15 pounds in training, and developed severe tendinitis in his right knee. After the run he told reporters he had never felt such mental or physical pain but that it was a "beautiful experience". He said he had raised $2m for New York public schools, children living with HIV and AIDS and his own Daddy's House Social Programs. Among his donors: Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who pitched in $10,000, rapper Jay-Z who gave $25,000 and gossip-column regulars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who gave a combined $78,000.
