     Well I haven't researched to see if I beat her at 26.2 or not. Don't rush to judgement

     

    Speaking of that, which candidate is the runner? That sub-3:00 marathon candidate dude made for quite the discussion on the BF back in the day.

      I'm left of liberal. Liberal is too conservative for me.

       

      I don't like Obamacare. I want true single payer.

       

       

      I have to agree with this.

          Yeah, that was Paul Ryan, Romney's VP nominee. He is not currently running (for President). Of the current candidates - only Huckabee has run a marathon. Several people who have run for Pres or VP in the past have run them, but the only person actually elected president to run one was GW Bush. He ran a 3:44; I think he was in his 40's at the time, so not too shabby.

            Yes, I tried to run that (or better lol) for my first two marathons. Notice I said tried.

                And then when you were about the same age as he was, you ran a 3:15. So I'd vote for you over W any day.

                  Yeah but he won a pension, I won a 401k. Difference being that I could wake up tomorrow with absolutely nothing because some ding-a-ling leader in another country got shot FFS.

                   

                  Real talk though; much respect to G Dub in that regard. You don't just show up at a marathon and run a 3:44.

                    Yeah Ryan created a spending plan when he ran with Romney. Being a numbers guy you would think he would  never forget his marathon time.

                        If you reviewed his budgets you might notice he wasn't really a numbers guy.

                          No you're not, but I typically run my mile pace away from political conversations. Smile  See what I did there.

                            I tried to warn you...

                             

                             

                            There has never been a political discussion across the sides that ended well...

                             

                             

                            There are plenty of us that hunt, fish, and do other non-left promoted activities.    Bringing up politics... is not one of those things

                              I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal, I never really agree with either party and all of the candidates usually suck.

                               

                              IMO, Trump is a jackass, there's a difference between not being politically correct, and just being a douchebag.  He knows how to make money, that's about it.

                               

                              Yes to all of this.

                                This is going better than deflate gate. That decide is any day now.
