Rep. Paul Ryan: I never ran sub-3 marathon
Rep. Paul Ryan backtracked from saying he ran a marathon in less than three hours as the Republican vice presidential candidate claimed in a nationally broadcast interview.
After Runner's World magazine reported on its website it couldn't find any results by Ryan, his campaign told the publication he ran a race called Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, Minn., while he was in college. Ryan finished in 4 hours, 1 minute and 25 seconds in 1990, the magazine reported yesterday.
"My brother Tobin -- who ran Boston last year -- reminds me that he is the owner of the fastest marathon in the family and has never himself ran a sub-three," Ryan said in comments provided by his campaign spokesman, Brendan Buck.
