Palin said in an interview with Runner's World that she would "absolutely" accept an invitation to go running with President Barack Obama and she said she is confident she would win in a race.
"I betcha I'd have more endurance," she told the magazine. "My one claim to fame in my own little internal running circle is a sub-four (hour) marathon. It wasn't necessarily a good running time, but it proves I have the endurance within me to at least gut it out and that is something. If you ever talk to my old coaches, they'd tell you, too. What I lacked in physical strength or skill I made up for in determination and endurance. So if it were a long race that required a lot of endurance, I'd win."
However, Palin was less confident about her ability to beat Obama in another activity they are both known to enjoy.
"People have asked if I'd ever challenge him to one-on-one because we both love basketball," she said. "But look, he towers over me and I wouldn't be complaining about an unfair advantage there, but maybe I'd do better playing H-O-R-S-E with him than one-on-one."

Really?
It's funny that she's still trying to prove that she could beat him at something, anything, like a foot race. A bit childish, I think. When was the last time you raced another adult?
