President Bush has run a marathon? I'm really impressed. That takes an incredible amount of discipline and training.
My 17 year old son ran the Seattle Marathon because we were new to town and his cross country team said that they we all going to run it. Naturally, he was the only one to show up.
I waited in the cold drizzle for 3 hours and collected the exhausted kid at the end where he collapsed in a heap. After looking at the times, we determined that he finished third in his age group. Not too bad, considering. But he said he'd never run another one!
I've read the Runners World page (I remember when we used to subscribe to that) and I was impressed to see some of the names of other politicians who run. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson! US Rep. Jim Ryun -- now there's some competition!
The pictures of the President are fabulous. And reading about his past records, I see that the President ran his marathon in HOUSTON! You'd have to be a masochist to do that! When we lived in Houston, my sons were not allowed to run more than 10 miles at a whack at Strake Jesuit College Prep High School because of the oppressive heat -- 10 miles before school and 10 miles after school.
after the beheading of Paul Johnson by the radical barbarians, it would appear that our domestic enemies are becoming even more visible to us...you're with us, or you're against us.
