We all know that Paul Ryan is a fit dude, his addiction to P90x is legendary. What we didn't know till last week that Ryan at one point as a pretty-good marathoner. On a radio interview last week Ryan said that his personal best time for the 26.1 mile race was ". . . under three, high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something." That's really good. How good is that? He'd probably finish in the top 10 this year's Delaware Marathon with a 6 minute 50 second mile pace. But wait, Ryan is not that fast, not by a long shot. Ryan's one marathon on record, Grandma's Marathon 1990, has Ryan running a 4 hour and 1 minute marathon. Big difference.

I didn't watch the speech, but it promoted the Rude Pundit to write up this summary of Christie's economic theories and so Christie accidentally did some good.
