I just ran my second Boston Marathon this April and I know that Kerry never ran a marathon in his life. I have run 6 marathons and I remember vividly my time for each one. When I saw the article in Runner's World, I thought immediately that it was a big fat lie.

You will note that the other candidates, Bush and Edwards, show which marathon they have run and the exact times for each. As an aside, although I can't stand Edwards, his marathon times are pretty impressive.

Also, the qualifying times back in the seventies were under 3 hours. There is no way that a sub-3 hour marathoner would not remember running Boston for the first time. What a maroon!!

What a flat-out liar! Cambodia is one thing, but this is serious stuff.

< With the exception of Ronald Reagan, every president since the mid-'70s has been a runner. George W. ran a 3:44 marathon at Houston a decade ago. Kerry says he completed a Boston in the '70s but forgets his time (Question: Did he forget his qualifying time, too, or didn't he have to qualify?).

Even 2000 Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore finished a marathon once.
