Paul Ryan explains marathon mistake
In an interview with Toledo News Now Tuesday, vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan explained that a back injury contributed to his inflated marathon-running claims.
I hurt my back when I was in my mid-20s, so I had to stop running. So obviously, my perception of races and times was off, Ryan said when asked why he told a radio show that he had run a marathon in under three hours. His actual time was closer to four. I thought that was an ordinary time until my brother showed me a three-hour marathon is, you know, crazy fast. Its just the fact that I did it 22 years ago.
