Just read that Sarah Palin quit 40 minutes into a 5K Turkey Trot...
...to avoid the crowd at the finish line. I thought she was a runner. I can walk a 5K in less than that. She's getting pretty good a quitting though.

1. So even if she
(God forbid) somehow did win the Presidency, would she quit after a week?

2. Yes, I was going to say -- you should be FINISHED a 5K in 40 minutes --
5K is only a smidgen over THREE MILES. It really is walkable in 40 minutes, given a quite fast-paced walk.

6. So you could easily to a 5K in less than 40 minutes..
..and that's my point. At 40 minutes, she still wasn't finshed. I'm hoping she stopped a lot along the way to thank people, take pictures, etc because dropping out of a 5K after 40 minutes isn't something I'd want to advertise.

7. Anything she runs in has to be a turkey trot just by the fact she's in it.
