Despite having casually mentioned in an interview that he's run a marathon "Under three, high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something," Ryan has now confirmed (after some extensive, um, fact-checking of official records by others) that his time was actually over four hours.
Kudos to Ryan for running a marathon, certainly.

What a weird thing to lie about.
If he's the kind of person he appears to be, I've worked with people like that, and they'll lie to you just to see if you'll believe it.
Look, people, I think we are discounting his incredible physical fitness from being Batman and all.
…
Wait, he lied about that too? Damn it!
Left: He lied about his marathon time.
Right: But it isn’t important, its not like Lewinski
Left: But why lie about that, it overshadows the fact that he ran a marathon.
Right: You liberals, always looking to take away from Republicans.
Yup.
He’s a politician. He can’t risk getting in the habit of telling the truth.
He's just getting y'all used to it. Soon you will savor the sweet drops of distilled BS that flow from his lips.
It will become your opiate, your daily communion with never-never-land.
Unless, of course, you kick his ass to the curb.
