Yea, her non cheating time was/is very respectable. To put in the training and miles, and then cheat. Bizarre.

Yes, that was Governor Ed King. Actually "not a bad guy" as Jerry Williams, top Boston radio talk show host of the day, often said. Despite being officially a Democrat, he was one of the more conservative governors Massachusetts ever had in the modern era. His term of office was sandwiched in between Dukakis's several terms. But during that term, Ed King managed to roll back taxes, institute mandatory sentences for drug dealers and even tried re-introducing the death penalty (which got defeated). King also endorsed Ronald Reagan for president.

Good memories. All of this was so long ago. 1980 was also the year that the U.S. Olympic hockey team won the gold medal. I remember being at Mike Eruzione's parade in Winthrop, MA.

yeah, I don’t do this stuff so I don’t know how it works with the GPS data. I would not have thought it could be faked later in the day, but maybe there is some kind of “manual” entry option that allows a website to be updated without time stamps?

What does seem evident is that she had to execute the “cut course” very carefully in order to “finish” in anywhere near the desired time... i.e., if she wasn’t carefully planning the details she could either “win” in a very implausible time or else lose by far more of a margin than she wanted. There would be no point to the subterfuge if she came in at either +5 min. or -5 min. relative to where she hoped to be. She had to do this with planning.

Your analogy is a good one. They both cheated.

But Seo is too young to even remember Rosie Ruiz. Ruiz's hoax occurred 13 years before she was even born.

Hillary Clinton, a known public liar and purveyor of made-up events during her whole career, is more likely this food blogger's role model for deceit.

Ah...seems like a different time. I used to play hockey at the rink in Winthrop!

They idolize cheaters, vote for cheaters, help them cheat and cheat themselves. No surprise from these types.

It’s a way of attempting to minimize what they did wrong. That just means they truly aren’t sorry and will do it again if given the chance. I see these fake apologies all the time.

I guess I don’t understand technology. You can not run the last two miles of a half-marathon, and say you did, and no one notices, but then go back and bike it later and GPS records it like you actually ran it earlier? Huh?

Did she at least get a cup of coffee when she finished?

She’s a blogger. She excerpted her run. What’s the big deal?

Or in the Venn diagram, the set of all bloggers is completely contained in the set of dishonest people.
