For both of you who haven't heard, the gist is that Mr. Ryan, the Republican nominee for vice president of the United States, erred when he casually told a radio interviewer that he used to "run marathons" and that his personal best time was "Under three [hours], high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something." (Adding, for good measure: "I was fast when I was younger, yeah.")
In fact, as Scott Douglas and the rest of our Newswire team discovered through some tenacious digging, Mr. Ryan has not run marathons, plural. He ran one marathon, in 1990. And it wasn't under three hours or even under four. It was a 4:01:25.
