I am inclined to think Lincoln, but what say you in the Ford's theater of peanuts?

^ this, none other ran one or was too old, kennedy's back sucked and he was a drunk.
There has only been one president of Kenyan decent, my money is on him.
My money is on Taft, he was one crazy son of a bitch
I'd say Paul Ryan, j/k.
Didn't Ford play football, I wonder if he ran also?
Jimmy Carter ran cross country at the Naval Academy.
I'll go with the Kenyan.
Remember that Obama's a smoker. He runs some, too, but he doesn't train as hard as Bush Jr did. Bush was a fitness freak. He installed a treadmill in Air Force 1.
The prize has the power to make us, you know, actually think about complicated issues rather than simply reaffirming our own biased beliefs and dismissing the issue in question. I don't know about you, but I think there might be a little value in that.
If Carter actually ran cross country, then he probably gets the nod. But GWB certainly did have a running reputation.
Well, I can tell you who WASN'T the fastest. Dying old former generals like William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor or fat guys like Taft, McKinley, and Cleveland. Also I don't get the idea that Harding was terribly fit. Or LBJ. And Ike and Reagan were old, and didn't Andy Jackson have bullets in him? And neither of the Adamses, or Van Buren of Buchanan, looked like an athlete. Oh yeah, and for obvious reasons, not FDR.
That narrows it down to about 30, I think.

Actually I think Obama quit smoking last year

He spent most of his 20s and 30s with a straw up his nose.
Jimmy Carter only did 10k.

Good point. Wheelchair racers are pretty nippy.
They were all joggers so who cares
