Is that for real?

The only marathon he's ever run is the GRANDMA'S Marathon??

n/t

when he tripped Grandma in order to win.

They also promote a half marathon. Perhaps Ryan's spectacular time was actually his time for a half marathon.

Grandma's Marathon | History

In the Beginning

Grandma's Marathon began in 1977 when a group of local runners planned a scenic road race from Two Harbors to Duluth, Minnesota. There were just 150 participants that year, but organizers knew they had discovered something special. The marathon received its name from the Duluth-based group of famous Grandma's restaurants – its first major sponsor. The level of sponsorship with the restaurants has changed, but the race has retained its name. Grandma's Marathon is now a self-governed nonprofit organization with a 17-member board of directors. Grandma's Marathon weekend draws more than 17,000 participants for its three-race event each June.

worst fooking enemies.

your pants are totally FREAK'n on fire!

Run man run!

p.s....Opps...forgot. NOW, how about all that Holy and Pious crap that you are trying to shove off on us? Eh? Bullshit you say?

Thought so.

Silly, petty lies to make him feel bigger make no sense. What they do is cast his character into a dim light.

This was such a foolish thing to lie about. It's the sort of thing a jerk at a bar would say to try and impress a woman with his fake awesomeness.

Hewitt is scum. . .just one of the worst.

Sorry i don't buy that one either. If you have a bad back why would you run 10 miles- but not 26.2? This guy has serious psychological problems. Nobody ever calls BS on this liar? That will change now!

You don't just "get in" a 10 miler - that is still a LONG run both in distance and in time AND on the body. I haven't done 10 since I was training for the Richmond marathon last year because you have to work into that.

Not knowing his PR or at least getting close to it is also a red flag. Mine is 4:30 - I ran that at about 250 lbs - and every marathoner can talk for hours about almost each of their runs. Those are days of your life that you will never forget.

NOW I am offended by Ryan. Don't lie about "marathonS" take pride in your one but don't say you've run multiple.

For the record I have started 5 but only finished 4 - I just couldn't do the last 10 MILES on one of them - Last November in my last complete marathon I walked the last 7 miles due to cramping.

I have run 10 Ks, and I am SLOW.

My best time broke a 42 minute - I have no need to say I ran a sub 30 minute 10 K, I am just happy to say I drug my butt around it in whatever time I do it in.

Is it force of habit? Is it a pathology? Is it congenital?
WTF

is absolutely no good reason to, you are a pathological liar. Welcome to DU

We need to set up a Truth Watch in case he accidentally says something that is actually accurate.

Our thanks to Runner's World -- now when will the rest of the media get off its fat asses?

Photoshop this: Paul Ryan Lies

You know for sure then that they'll lie about ANYthing and for NO reason.

He would lie when a simple statement, about insignificant things, would suffice. I didn't understand it then, don't understand it now.

BTW, he's currently in prison.

substance, should immediately disqualify him. If he lies about small, petty things, he'll lie about important, large things. The guy is not fit for ANY public office whatsoever.

My longest run has been a half-marathon, as a 40-year old, and my pace would have extended out to 3 1/2 hours for a full marathon -- though I presume that a 2nd half would be a little slower but still would have been under 4 hours. Either Ryan didn't train for the distance or he was a pretty slow runner for a 20 year old so he told not one but two lies about his marathon. By the way, a bad back would impact a 7 mile run about as much as a marathon. It would also impact many forms of resistance training as well so even his bad back claim is suspect.

just won't say "lie".

sheesh. makes it seems like he was just being dumb instead of devious.

First he states a blatant, easily researched lie, then he adds embellishments--"Yeah, I'm really fast!" He sounds like a two-year-old.

BULLSHIT ABC..."Paul Ryan gets caught LYING again this time over a Marathon" is how that header should read!!

The Press SUCKS!!

Had Obama blatantly LIED about a marathon just after he gave a speech full of LIES you bet the press would be calling him out...Not gonna happen when it is a nice looking white guy calling for lower taxes for the wealthy!!
