John Kerry Ran Boston Marathon But Doesn't Remember His Time (and no record exists).
Runner's World

Posted on 09/30/2004 4:47:13 PM PDT by Carpe Cerevisi

I just receive the latest issue of Runner's World today. It's bad enough that John Edwards is on the cover - but when I opened it up to read the athletic comparisons between Bush and Kerry I had to laugh. It lists John Kerry's athletic achievements, one of them being the Boston Marathon. It mentions that he ran the Boston Marathon in the 70's - but he doesn't remember his time, and no official record exists. Par for the course...

Sorry, I couldn't find the story at the Runner's World website.

It was the same year that Al Gore created the Internet.

He probably ran along side the gal who jumped in near the end of the race and won.

And he's been running from his record ever since.

Par indeed. But, find the article and log the research and get back to us.

My understanding was that he walked on the moon as well... with Baron Munchausen.

What a liar. The interview was likely done a few months ago. If I ran just one marathon in my life, I would remember the time.

This potentially could be another Christmas in Cambodia. Are the records of who completed the marathon somewhere?

He completed it after he dropped out of it.

It lists John Kerry's athletic achievements, one of them being the Boston Marathon.

Clinton was the first black President, Gore invented the Internet, and Kerry ran in the Boston Marathon. No proof or facts to support these statements.

Does anybody see a pattern here!

I know that today all records (time, runner's number, etc.) are maintained by putting a chip on your running shoe. Not sure how they did it back in the day.

I wonder if Kerry had won a medal whether he would've thrown it over a fence...

On a recent interview, he also claimed that he frequently cut and cleared brush on his ranch, but that there just aren't any pictures. Uh Huh!

Maybe he just watched it on TV?

Seems to me he swam the English Channel before but he can't remember where or when.

Hey, that sounds like there's a song title in there somewhere.

By golly, there is.

NYT (or an advertiser) prints the name and time of every finisher in NYC, or at least they used to. Does/did the Globe do the same?
