Mysterioso New York service site she loves new york serves up their awards edition, with ones like "The Diddy Runs The City Award" ("recognizing the major achievement of an ego maniac in 2003") and "The White LV Award" ("given to that venue which contributed most to the bling"); and the "Resy." Yes, happy new year, matty, and do whatever slny says.

Bad news for Diddy in the second of the Post's Diddy Diaries. He tried to get the word out to America's youth about his marathon running for charity, byjogging on a treadmill during MTV TRL. But he's really not supposed to jog on a treadmill, and now there is some mad damage to his knee what with all the training he's been doing, yo. Call us cynical, but with all his connections wouldn't he have been alerted to this sooner? And shouldn't a personal trainer have been absorbed into the organism that is his posse? Gothamist hopes we're not being set up for the possibility of him not completing the 26.2 miles.

- We're getting a little running craze going on in the hip-hop world. Jay-Z's been running. I can't say if Beyoncé's running - we haven't talked. But I think Jay-Z's up to five miles.

Okay, Gothamist has to give it up for the Diddy. P. Diddy's entry is going to bring more attention to the (ING) New York City Marathon that the New York Road Runners Club knows what to do with. We're not sure if this is a good or bad thing yet (Pros: Supporting great causes, showing that running can be for anyone; Cons: Takes attention away from the top runners and turns the event into a media circus), but it's brilliant either way, especially when he's saying things like, "Every child needs quality education and health care to train for the marathon of life," at his press conference. And his run is branded: "Diddy Runs the City," which is so perfect. Check out the official website: diddyrunsthecity.com (be sure to look at the "Host Committee").
