Marathon You Can Do It

Former Republican presidential contender, Mike Huckabee was in the news this week for saving the life of a choking politician. Mike is not a stranger to heroics, I remember in February this year he took a break from his busy campaign schedule to train for April 2008 Boston marathon.

After Huckabee dropped out of the running to be the Republican nominee, he went out of the news and I forgot he was supposed to run Boston marathon.

It’s after this save a life incident by Huckabee that I checked his Boston Marathon finishing time. The official position is that Mike didn’t post a time. Was he disqualified? No. It turns out he dropped out a few days before the race, claiming a knee injury.

Better luck next time.
