Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan has a reputation as a fitness buff. He allegedly is in the Congressional gym at the crack of dawn, performing a supposedly grueling routine of jumping about. Those who say they have seen his abs have expressed a degree of admiration that makes some listeners a bit uncomfortable.
Well, maybe Paul is a rugged he-man type. But he certainly is not the fastest marathoner among current and past Republican VP candidates. Yes, a certain Sarah Palin holds that distinction, edging him out with a 3:59 to Paul's over 4. That's hours in case you're not familiar with running times.
Oh, and in case you missed it, Paul originally claimed a sub-three hour marathon time. An hour-plus error may not sound like much to nonrunners, but don't try to convince a committed runner that Paul merely misspoke.
So anyway, Paul's reputation as a fitness freak has suffered just a tad. First, he claims an accomplishment he did not achieve. And second, he came in, well, second to Mrs. Palin. Could it be that Paul is in truth a Closet Wuss? Just asking.
