That’s what I’ve been telling people! I’ve watched her personal appearance or the past few months and she has steadily been getting fitter and fitter (mind you, she’s always been in great shape). For what purpose is she doing this? She could have simply maintained her shape if she just wanted to keep healthy, but instead she increased her fitness. [Improving from her 9 min/mile (Humpy’s Marathon 2006) to 8min/mile (Storm Lake 1/2 marathon) is a very significant improvement especially at her age] Most people don’t do that unless they are preparing for a major undertaking.

How about a relay with Ann Coulter and Chris Christie? Ann would run out of juice, and Christie would get the big one.

Goodness no. Ann Coulter is a stick-thin anorexic who doesn't have the muscle mass to run in a race like that, and Chris Christie would have a heart attack within the first half mile.

Ah, the nerve of that woman, being with regular people, not drawing attention to herself and having fun........Unheard of, no way she's running and can't win if she runs.

Just thought I'd save the PDSers some time and trouble :^)

Great story!

Run for fun — not for photo op or attention. So glad she could do this without fanfare.

This woman is truly amazing. She packs more into 24 hours than anyone I’ve ever seen.

Dude, she's training for the Olympics, has to be!

I'd have it blown up to poster size and frame it for the bedroom /Laz mode>

...but my wife would shoot me in the face with a bazooka. /reality>

(The legendary Mrs. Whiskers' legs are about as good as Sarah's but my wife does distance cycling.) /braggart>

Cheers!

Yes, and unlike extravagant Moochie, Sarah didn’t all of a sudden take up exercise for photo ops. Sarah is the real deal.

When I first heard of Sarah Palin; this was the first article I read about her.
It really resonated with me; as I have run 2 marathons and love to run still. I saw in her one who believed as I do; that taking care of your body and health is a very important.
One who does this does not sit around and wait for a government entity to give you cradle to grave care.
Love the woman!

Yep, no fanfare; used her maiden name.

Just mixing with regular people and doing what she enjoys!

How about THAT?

Just tell us again, that she’s NOT one us!

That claim doesn’t hold water.

Why would he want to?

Why would he need to?

If you hate Perry, just say so.
