Use the Paul Ryan-Adjusted Marathon Time Calculator to determine your Adjusted Time! (LOL) ...

When vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan was asked recently how fast he has run a marathon, the fitness fanatic didn’t hesitate.

“Under three, high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something,” he told Hugh Hewitt in an interview.
2 Hr. 50+ Min. WOW that's
(http://www.hughhewitt.com/transcripts.aspx?id=58471bcc-8ee5-4740-bcbd-07eaf7c16202)

A spokesman confirmed late Friday that the Republican vice presidential candidate has run one marathon. That was the 1990 Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota, where Ryan, then 20, is listed as having finished in 4 hours, 1 minute, and 25 seconds.

To adjust your best time to something close to Paul Ryan's adjusted time'

Your Marathon time: 04:55:00
Your Paul Ryan-adjusted Marathon time: 3:33:51

The current Women's World Record for Marathon is 2:15:25.

Your Paul Ryan-adjusted time is only 1:18:26 away from a new Paul Ryan-certified world record

I tried not to exaggerate too much about my best personal time - which was difficult since I've never actually run a race of any kind. Ever. But I understand that part doesn't matter anyway, in Paul Ryan's world.

I'll be trying for a new best time again real soon. I'm sure I can beat my personal best.

I will 63 next Tuesday. But the Ryan time warp changes my age to 45, 17 years before I can retire!

Your Marathon time: 03:20:52 (Twin Cities, October 1992(?) -- by the way, I may not remember the year, but I remember the time down to the second.)
Your Paul Ryan-adjusted Marathon time: 2:25:36

Damn. I could have run the Olympic Trials.
