W would more than match Obama in fitness. Before knee troubles forced him to stop running and do more mountain biking, Bush had run a 3:44 marathon and been featured on the cover of
Runner's World. He was also running 5K races at 6:45 per mile, not bad at all for a guy in his 50's.

Thanks for posting that. I’ve added it to my Bush file. I knew he was very physically active but I didn’t have any idea that he actually ran marathons and loved running so much.

And his 3:44 time in 1993 beat Oprah's in 1994 (4:29) and Al Gore's in 1997 (4:58).
