What's with Ryan and his Marathon time?

[canndo]

I've never run one of those things but I used to push some iron around pretty good. I recall my personal best bench and personal best squat to this day.


Is this Ryan fella a habitual liar? He boasted whagt? 2.50 when it was actually 4.01?



Someone have an explaination?

 

[BA142]

My explanation.....who cares. His marathon time has nothing to do with the election. Now all the others lies he's been telling......we can talk about those

 

[potroastV2]

The guy lies so much he can't figure out what is a lie, and what is cocky bushshit.

Believe me, if you run a marathon, you know exactly what your time was. He's obviously a fucking idiot if when he thinks that no one will actually check out what he says.

Just another power-hungry extremist.

It is an indicator of who he is. Have you never encountered a guy who actually lived within his own story about himself? They have trouble remembering what their stories are - they don't actually live in the real world but in some elaborate fabrication where they were in the marines, they once slept with a movie star, they owned a one of a kind car, they were strikingly rich or handsome or they wrote a book, their father was a judge, their mother was a model. These were not the embelishments of someone who liked more drama in their lives than they actually had. These were the fabricators of their entire lives.

The ones I encountered were young, they wanted approval and the only way they thought they could get it was by being very interesting. Some of them thought they could get girls by... professing to the girl that they were the first Italian Astronaut or they ran a 3 minute mile. I think that many people give this stuff up as they grow older simply because they wind up having authentic stories of their own - but as I said, we all know such folk

Fun as they are - I can't see one being president or vice president of the country - I would much perfer someone who has a clear sense of his own accomplishments and of the world around them.

Barack Obama told the nation his parents met at the Selma civil rights march and that's how he was born.

But Paul Ryan's marathon times are of great concern, got hacks? LOL

I know nothing about the buy and i really don't care, with this point it could be in relation to anyone, but when YOU run a marathon, YOU know what the time was. Pretty silly to make an assumption that if you remember something like that then everyone else will. Plenty of people forget plenty of things that to others woulds seem like something you'd never forget, such as the example of benchpressing.

Canndo? what was your personal best Bench weight?

Now, if I don't remember I say "gee, I don't remember any more"

What I don't do is "misremember" and come up with an arbitrary weight - and an arbitrary weight that is far higher than anything I have ever pressed.

I was not talking about forgetting and then making something up, i was pointing out what a silly assumption it is to think that if I personally don't forget something then noone else will either.

There are certain things we all remember, things that when we work hard for a long time, we accomplish with pride and satisfaction.

But in this case, it doesn't matter - it is plain for everyone to see that Ryan is a habitual if not cronic liar, we don't need those sorts of leaders in this country.

Pardon me for my poor use of your English language, Tip Top.

I should say that ANYONE who runs a marathon will remember their time, especially when it is the only marathon that they have ever run. Even if they forget the exact time, they don't confuse 4 hours and 1 minute with "sub-three hours, two hours and fifty-something" like Ryan said.

I am not really interested in why he said what he did, as i said, i couldn't care. But you are still just making a broad assumption.

I have run a marathon, i've no idea what the time was.

Now what.
