Sarah Palin says she can outrun Obama - In a marathon, that is. From her interview with Runner’s World: Could you beat the president? I betcha I’d have more endurance. My one claim to fame in my own little internal running circle is a sub-four marathon. It wasn’t necessarily a good running time, but it proves I have the endurance within me to at least gut it out and that is something. If you ever talk to my old coaches, they’d tell you, too. What I lacked in physical strength or skill I made up for in determination and endurance. So if it were a long race that required a lot of endurance, I’d win. And there’s also this bit about her and running in Alaska: What’s the funniest thing that happened on a run? In Anchorage on the coastal trail there have been many times where I’ve had to stop right in my tracks and turn around because there’s been either a moose standing there staring at me or a moose’s butt plopping on over into the trail. I have to turn around and leave, or I’m going to get clobbered. And, no, I haven’t had time to read the Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin yet.
