% check this out. i just ping'ed each entry and they both point to the
% same ip address.
%
% what could be happening?

The web server's configuration file contains two virtual
host entries where it should have one.  If, for example,
the www site is the one which *should* be there, the
entry for lamarathon.com should be deleted, and the
entry for www.lamarathon.com should be amended to include
a line which (in Apache) would look like this:

ServerAlias lamarathon.com
