If you've been living under a rock, Paul Ryan said he ran a sub-3 marathon. For details see here:
Paul Ryan Has Not Run Sub-3:00 Marathon
If you've been living under a smaller rock and still heard about the Paul Ryan marathon lie but not the Run Calculator, you should check this out. You may have set a world record and not even known it.
Paul Ryan Time Calculator
Full disclosure: I'm still voting for Romney but, I heard an excellent point about this lie...She can't really relate to all the thing politicians lie about but can relate to lying about your race times. Some runners may never talk to you again if you lied about running a Boston Qualifying time when you were really over an hour slower. I could understand saying 4 hours but nothing sub 4. There is never any reason to lie about your times. The important thing is that you were out there running and you finished...or gave it your best shot.
In other political news...did you hear the White House finally released it's beer recipe!? Now I just need to get that brewing equipment I've been saying I'm going to get for about 5 years.
I love that Ryan Calculator! Ok, I am going to give him a pass on that because I am more interested in our economy and jobs. I will be pulling the lever for Romney too.
ReplyDeleteHaha... I saw the beer recipe too!
