So intent is the MSM in finding negative stories on Sarah Palin, that they just happen to overlook her amazing accomplishments.
Sarah Palin not only finished Anchorage's 2005 Humpy’s Marathon , but with a blazing time of 3:59:36, fourth in her age group, and only 9 1/2 minutes off the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon .
The only news source that has noted Palin's athletic bent is the WSJ Weekend Edition , which makes no mention of her marathon feat.
![[sarah palin]](http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-CE712_palin__NS_20080829115851.jpg) This has relevance to the MSM harping that Palin was picked for her looks. Palin still looks great at age 44 because she is in fantastic shape; being in shape didn't happen by accident, but due to Palin's healthy lifestyle (with avoidance of tobacco ), and exemplary determination and discipline.
Here is a photograph of Palin in the Governor's office. One immediately notices that Palin is attractive. The reason she is attractive as she is at age 44, is that she is a super fit marathon runner. If Palin is still especially good looking, it is in no small part because she has earned it.

What would one expect out of a bunch of anti-gun, anti-infant, anti-American freak bloogers.
Sarah slapped that bear to death, being careful not to let her nails damage the fur.

Looks like she ran a 10 k — 3 weeks earlier as a warmup to the marathon...
Do we really want a vice-president who is always ducking out of meetings to go train?
also keep in mind:
Alaska is much much colder and tougher than most places
What say you?
Breck Girl did a 3:30?
(25 yrs ago)
wonder if it was legit...........
He had an ambulance in front of him!
I never understood the point of a marathon. Do you get a hamburger at the end, or something?
I laughed out loud for the first time today.... thanks for that!!
What is your opinion of Sarah's marathon prowess?
Could be trigirl is a future call name?
As a 3:04:30 Boston marathoner this year, I love her even more. I didn’t think that was possible. That hubby of hers is one lucky dude!
Go Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!
As Johnny Carson used to say to really funny humor...”That’s good stuff!” LMAO!
Over the past week I somehow missed that she runs marathons too. This woman is absolutely amazing.
I’d love to see how she schedules things. That’s a crazy amount of time to manage, and by all accounts she not only makes time for everything, but excels at whatever she does. Does she have a younger, unmarried sister?
George Bush ran a good marathon also
I think it was in the 3:20s/30s for a 50 year old
