Not a very good defense, but there it is.<br /><br />But the marathon lie -- and that's what it is -- suggests a pathological liar who can't help himself and reflexively dresses up everything in a bright,shining lie.<br /><br />Sports statistics are sacred to a lot of people. Someone who lies about his athletic achievements will lie about everything, and generally does. Nothing is sacred to this guy.Peter Patauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791464275398693662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-53092448808448304872012-09-02T19:48:49.673-05:002012-09-02T19:48:49.673-05:00Paul ryan also won the Kentucky Derby, the iditaro...Paul ryan also won the Kentucky Derby, the iditarod and grew the worlds largest watermelon.

I don't go around telling people that I ran under four. I say, "I ran two marathons, one at age 18 and the other at age 19, but the times were very slower, and I'm focused on shorter distances now until I can get my endurance up before I even think about running another.Steve Nicholasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-28668483364368125802012-09-02T19:01:30.463-05:002012-09-02T19:01:30.463-05:00And before yet one more person suggests that he si...And before yet one more person suggests that he simply "mis-remembered" or "mis-spoke" or whatever:<br /><br />There is no runner in the world - NONE - who "mis-remembers" his or her one and only marathon from a 4:01 down to "two hours and fifty-something". <br /><br />They remember it down to the minute, and likely down to the second. They can tell you who they were there with, how they came to be there, what the weather was like, and a hundred other details. <br /><br />"Mis-remembering" your birthdate is about as likely.<br /><br />He lied.
