Well, it does say he only ran one, so he can be forgiven for not knowing what the time was (since he probably DNF'd or got such a shitty time that it wasn't worth remembering).

But, what he should have done is admit that he only ran one. Not say "oh yeah, I used to run marathons, but don't do it anymore" like as if he was ever seriously into them in the first place.

Poser.

Regardless, he's the most athletic politician since Ted Kennedy

I've never ran a marathon but running track and cross country through high school, I can still tell you my best 800, 1600, 5k, etc, and I graduated in 2004.

That point aside, I think its stupid that he lied about it, but far from the worst lie I've heard from a politician.

I graduated in 98 and I cannot remember a single time from any event running cross country, but I do know that running a sub 3 marathon is something I would definitely remember. I do remember every game I scored a goal in lacrosse.

Probably didn't think anyone would fact check that, but in this day and age of completely and utter party warfare, they are going to hammer every little point and he should of known better.

Buncha Al Bundy's in here.

I can tell you within about a minute what my times were when running cross country in high school.

I can't tell you how many goals I scored in a soccer season or tackles I made in a football season though.

Goals is easy for me, I didn't play attack ever and usually only middie for faceoffs. Mostly defense. I can't remember how many face offs I won or any other stat I did a lot. I do remember getting checked pretty fuckin brutal junior year though. My old teammates won't let me forget it.

Seems like you would remember goals in soccer since it is so low scoring. I remember the few I scored in AYSO and I only played like one or two seasons.

Once again the Repubs have put together a ticket that is just flat unelectable, no matter their qualifications.

Yea I would think that most people would remember a sub 3 marathon, unless they're kenyan and knock those out all the time lol.
