    A 10K? LOL. I doubt if either could even slow jog 100 yards. It would be a walking race and not very fast. A 10K would take at least 2 hours - assuming they could even finish.

    Trust me on this. I'm in my mid-60s and have run my whole life. The decline in strength and endurance after age 60 is astounding. What they did 30 or 40 years ago is irrelevant.

    Yes, it would be pathetic. I can't see either breaking 2 hours for 10k.

    GW Bush and Obama will be in decent shape in their 60s bacause they maintained activity into middle age.

    I don't doubt what you say about the decline post-60. But I just want to say that at 56 years, 9 months, I just won the masters division last Saturday at the Marquette, Michigan marathon, Boston certified, in 3:04:42. And I only run about 3 times a week, as I am a triathlete and do more biking.

    So I'm braced for the decline, but hope it won't be too severe.

    Didn't Bill used to jog from one fast food window, stuffing his face, to another, while campaigning?

    Seriously, in terms of setting an example of fitness both major candidates leave a lot to be desired and an especially drop from the public image of Obama and his family. Hopefully whoever is elected will put someone in the cabinet or high level position that could promote fitness in image and example. I predict whoever is elected will be in for one term and will face a challenge eventually from a more robust political newcomer.

    Dang, how fat was the guy running against Taft then?

    Hillary needs help getting up the stairs.

    Bogus. She just yesterday greeted the press outside her plane and then walked up the stairs to it unassisted and without struggle.

    A year ago I needed some help climbing stadium stairs. Today, that is no longer the case.

    Whether Hillary at some point might have needed help to climb stairs is not relevant. Does she need help TODAY to climb stairs? Obviously not.

    If Obama did actually ran against McCain and Romney, he would win possibly up to 400m. Events longer than 400m would be won by McCain who had lots of stamina despite age. Romney would win 600m and up to the marathons against either of the two.

    You'd bet against a kenyan man who is 25 years younger than his opponent in a distance race?

    Let's say it was a 5K. Trump would finish in just under two hours and then claim that he had set a new world record for the marathon. Hillary would also finish in just under two hours, but a Congressional investigation costing taxpayers millions of dollars would be held, revealing that she had cut the course, and she would be forced to admit under intense media scrutiny that she had "short-circuited" the race.

    re: Flagpole

    Trump has "bone spurs" that caused him to repeatedly dodge the draft during a war that thousands of regular American guys fought and died in ... how could you be so heartless as to ask such a crippled guy to run a race?
