John Edwards on the cover of NOV's Runner's World

[BOSSHOG]

"Why I'm Addicted to Running." The article's title is, get this, THE RUNNING MATE - get it? There's also an article about politicians who run. Here is a nice little snippet:

"While training for the Dallas Marathon after his father's loss in 92, bush "overexerted" himself, came down with a severe cold and had to WITHDRAW FROM THE FIELD."

Will rove manufacture a Cold by next Friday?

[Jack from Charlotte]

1. Did AWOL ever complete a marathon? Or did we....

get his Daddy to write him a note so the newspaper would say he WOULD have completed the run if he hadn't caught a cold.

What a wuss.

5. There are pictures of Edwards and Kerry as well as

bush and some other running politicians. Bush's personal best, Houston Marathon in 93 - 3:44.

7. I Ran My PR At Napa 1994

3:06 and I have a hard time believing Bush ran anything under 4 hours. I ran 100 miles for 5 weeks at the end and 75 to 50 miles in my initial training and this was my fifth marathon. I do not believe * has/had the discipline to get under 4 hours. He is lying yet again. Bush does not run he PLODS. Fucking fat ass. Smirking does not make one run faster....HARD WORK does...he doesn't have a MOFO clue. Saying hard work doesn't mean you've done it. What a piece of human garbage. Toss this little shit to the curb. NOW!

BTW I wrote Runners World a scathing letter after they had * on the cover post September 11 acting like Jesus had just strapped on a pair of running shoes and renamed himself George.

Fuck * and the RWingers at this mag/rag.
