NOT the legs of a runner.

I got into a very civil disagreement (argument) not too long ago with a fellow blogger about whether or not Sarah was still a runner.

I was told that indeed she DID run, only now she did so indoors at a gym.

I beg to differ, I said, but I have a number of friends who are runners, and I sometimes train people to get back into shape, and SHE does not have a runners body.

I also pointed to her pictures in Runner's World, and said her legs were too thin and shapeless to be doing much running, and that the nylons she was wearing were undoubtedly hiding something.

So, Ta-Da! I think we can put that whole "I am a runner" B.S. to rest now. She has no defined hamstring muscle in the back of her legs, no shape to her quadriceps in the front, and a virtually non-existent gastrocnemius (calf muscle). Those are the legs of somebody who does a hell of a lot of sitting and not much else.

I would like my apology in writing please. And you know who you are.

  2. She needed those tights for the runners magazine to hold her flabby thighs and calves together and out of site.
    Gryphen, I have run, rode(horse) and worked on construction sites when necessary for our business, this Grandma is also a handful of yrs older than Sarah and my legs are toned, my calves are muscular and tight. Its been so obvious that this is just another lie. While it is just a little lie, it certainly says alot about her personal values and integrity ( she has none). Plastic surgery, secessionist husband, xtain--but doesn't attend church...it's all a madeup personna...Sarah is nothing more than a prop.

    I'm willing to bet she'll start running her ass off now, just to spite you. You do understand that a rigorous regimen of running this past fall would have caused all those plastic surgery stitches to pop. So I'm guessing Scarah had an excuse. Then, that darn bus tour didn't provide an opportunity - except for the phony turkey trot effort. Now we know why she couldn't complete that!

    Oh Gryphen!
    Of course when she said she was a runner, she meant she was a runner -- for public office! How could you think she meant someone who runs on scree covered hills or thrashes her abs running up mountains in Alaska? (unless that's the explanation -- she doesn't use her legs at all when she runs; some how, extraordinary Sarah runs powered solely by her abdominal muscles).

    When she went for that "run" at the end of her book, when she was in San Diego and was wondering what was wrong with Californians -- why weren't they "out running" -- she meant for public office!

    I do wonder if those extraordinary abs of iron that no other woman in the history of humanity has had will make an appearance in Hawaii.

  10. Darn it. My husband was weary of all my criticism about Sarah - he begged me to find something nice to say about her, something I admired in her.
    So, I said: "I really admire the fact that she is a runner....she has done marathons. I think that takes discipline, and I admire her for that."

    Now what can I say? That was ALL I had.

    Funny - over in the pee zoo, the women have noticed the flab and cellulite and they think it is TERRIFIC, because now the liberal women will vote for her for prez (!) because they can now see she really is like us!
    The men are slilent.
    Newsflash to the pee zoo: We do NOT vote based on looks - good or bad, pretty or homely. We actually vote based on intelligence, knowledge and ability to unite the Country. That is why we said "NO" to Mrs. Palin.

    Maybe she just had too many Quiznos sandwiches on Thanksgiving. She was in flabul ... I mean fabulous shape after the half-the-Turkey-trot, but then Thanksgiving happened, and I'm sure Harper Collins evil minions never gave her a chance to run on the bus-jet tour. The sorry state of her legs is all HC's fault. Oh, and Obama's also. Too.

    From the school district in Wasilla's student handbook:

    Attendance
    Studies have shown that student attendance at school is directly related to student success. Additionally, student attendance is one of the factors used to determine Adequate Yearly Progress under NCLB. Parents, students, and schools need to work together to promote attendance and success. In order to effectuate positive results and good communication, an automated telephone call will be made to the parents when a student is absent; a written notice will be mailed to the parents after five days of absence. After nine days of absenteeism, the student’s absences will be considered habitual and another written notice will be mailed to the parents. In cases of habitually truant students, a referral may be made to the Office of Children’s Services. After ten cumulative absences in a semester an administrative, parent, and student conference is required. Schools are encouraged to have positive incentive programs to reward good attendance by students and staff. Parents are encouraged to take an active role in student attendance and to alert the school when their child is to be absent. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements to keep up with school work when the he or she is absent from school.
    The principal shall have the final authority and discretion on matters related to such discipline for truancy.


    So there now you have a legitimate reason to report her to Childrens services.

    I believe she wore this same outfit around the pool in AZ the day after the election and it seemed really shabby then - considering all the cute swimsuit coverups that are available. (But then, this is the woman who consistently wore sweatshirt hoodies and windbreaker jackets to official state activities.) She can wear crushed velvet coats and purple suede boots to lure her pee-man-bots, but she obviously does not want to be seen in a swimsuit. (disclosure - neither do I!) However, for being fairly slim, you have to wonder - what is the secret to what we would see if she was back in that pageant swimsuit??! Must not be too pretty.

  19. I know someone who runs daily and has more cellulite and less muscular definition than seen here, so I don't think the legs mean Sarah isn't a runner. Genetics, diet and the type of running (speed, distance, intensity) all play a part. I doubt, however, that Sarah runs as much or as competitively as she suggests.

    We should soon be hearing that Piper is being home-schooled. Fundies LOVE that, so she will not lose any points there.
    I know that some home-schooling is good, but I wonder who monitors the studies in Alaska.
    I have a friend who says her daughter is home-schooling the grandkids - she says it is 3 hours per day, over half of those hours is bible study.
    Is this allowed?
    Again, I realize not all home-schooling is non-academic, but I am leery of it in Palin's case (if, in fact, that will be the excuse for Piper's lack of attendance). I have noticed that her followers have a disdain for education - it is "elitist."

    For someone who wants privacy for her children and family (on her terms), and wanted to be incognito (does she know that the word means), Sarah has managed to be photographed on two different occassions, wearing two different outfits and hats.

    How cute is it that she and Todd have matching "get the hell outa here" t-shirts to wear around little Piper who must know how to read by now (or maybe not, she has missed alot of school).

    All they seem to do is talk on their phones. It would be a vacation if they left the phones in the room and spent some quality time with the kids. Speaking of kids, did Piper run off again?

    The photos have shown us that Sarah looks just like the rest of us, until she spends hours doing her makeup and hair. Too bad she dissed McCain; he did hire a stylist that made Sarah look great. It is a pity that none of it rubbed off on her.

    I've read that cellulite is caused by accumulated toxins that stores itself in fat cells, and lack of circulation. She is a coffee, Red Bull, fast food type. Lots of water, less food additives, would help get rid of it, and at this stage, regular spot massage to help circulation.

    Perhaps off-topic but I posted this at Bree's blog, but thought I would share here as well if nobody picked it up...

    Zooming in close on the pic at http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrity_gallery/image_full/226422/ shows a book lying in the running stroller.

    Does this mean Palin reads? Huh? Zooming shows it's a book by Max Lucado - think she just tweeted a quote about him recently.

    But what is rather ironic is the book cover and what is says:

    It's Not About Me
    Rescue from the life we thought would make us happy.
    There really is more to this life than you've been told. Pop culture and psychobabble urge us to make ourselves the center of the universe in order to be happy. Even some churches communicate that God exists to give us what we selfishly want. It's Not About Me encourages us to re-center our thinking, discovering life the way it was meant to be.

It makes my head hurt.

    Palinbots, liberals won't vote for Sarah because she is an empty shell, a thoughtless, brainless twit, who would be 100 times worse than GW Bush ever was...a sock puppet tool of the religious right and the neocons that almost bankrupt our country morally and financially.

  47. Not only is her running fake so is her charisma, which is put on like a hat when she is out in public. She learned in beauty pagents and in journalism classes how to act with charisma. It is easy to do. I went online to wiki how to be charismatic, followed the instructions and BINGO. First time out I had strangers eating out of my hand like Palin. I even had two old men try to pick me up and I am 70 years old. Read the instructions and you will see Sarah following each step.

  48. Hilarious! Gryphen, no political expose or thoughtful deconstruction of her policies while in office will curl her hair more than this photo of her cellulite-ridden thighs - because she is above all, such a vain creature.

    She probably did run quite a bit when she was younger, and may run now from time to time, but as she always does, greatly exaggerated her accomplishments in Runners World and wore support hose to make everything look more trim than it actually was.

  49. (Oh, wow! I'm going to defend Sarah Palin.)

    In all fairness, most women in their mid-40s don't look very good from that angle. And, of course, cellulite doesn't necessarily mean she isn't in shape. As much as Sarah uses and is used for her good looks, it seems beneath us to make nasty comments about her thighs.

    Instead, I'll comment on how Sarah, the media whore, has become a true celebrity in the worst sense of the word. She is now going "incognito" in plain sight, wearing hats and shirts designed to get a reaction. Commenting on her own tabloid coverage.

    And, I'll continue to comment on what horrible parents Sarah and Todd are to keep taking Piper out of school at an age when kids learn good educational habits. They also have a teenage daughter who is being supervised by whom? Considering the behavior of Sarah's two older kids, maybe she and Todd should be more watchful of Willow. Of course kids will be kids, but parents need to be vigilant.

    And, put a hat on your children when they're out in the Hawaiian sun, Sarah. You're wearing a hat and sunglasses and your kids are squinting. Are you really that stupid?

  53. "Would a runner hve cellullite or that much??"

    Some do. One of my sisters was a runner. She ran every single day and did the marathons too. She has the cellulite but she also has the legs of a runner. Strong muscles in her upper thighs, below her knees were tight muscles. (I don't know the technical terminology) but Gryphen is right. $arah, if she ever did run, was on a treadmill for a couple of hours a week.
    I wonder why she didn't get that cellulite fixed up when she had her plastic surgery?
    And as to $arah being a runner, she just has to lie about things that don't need lying about. Pathological. Remember when she said she could beat Obama in a race? She knew damn well he would not take her up on it. She needs to brag about things that are not even true.
    She really needs long term psychiatric help.

  59. Though the cellulite was the first thing that I noticed when viewing this picture, my opinion that she does not run was based on her muscle tone and overall body type.

    I have no doubt she ran at some point in her life, but like her energy expertise, her hockey mom credibility, and her so-called "honesty" this is just another example that Palin is a complete phony who seems to lie about every single aspect of her life.

    It is habitual, it is chronic, and it is a very clear indication that she does not deserve the fanatical support she receives from certain segments of the population.

It's genetic, for crying out loud and there's no way to get rid of it. Every body has to have some level of fat and this is how many women are genetically predisposed to carrying it.

    Regular posters shouldn't have a problem with those of us who use Anonymous. It is actually very quaint that some seem to. It seems that there is almost a paranoid idea that there are only a few who use Anonymous, but we saturate these blogs while not revealing that we are, in fact, the same person posting over and over - this is ridiculous. There seem to be many, if not the majority, who prefer to use Anonymous, so people can rest their fears. And that pertains to a lot of comments. If there's an issue with the supposed inconvenience of having to reply, should one wish, to Anon @ such and such time, it would seem that the number of keystrokes is similar to that of some of these screen names. To me, what becomes obvious is that it is as if there has been a club here and on other like-minded blogs, and the regulars have found comfort in their "relationships" with other posters whose identities they do not truly know save a silly screen name. (Unless they do know one another in real life, and they meet up in this way online... Doubt it, though.) The truth is that there is no qualitative difference between these different types of posts, except that perhaps with Anonymous posts one can't necessarily follow a particular viewpoint and engage in discussion (read:debate) with someone who feels familiar, whose views are already generally known. In many ways, however, to use Anonymous takes the potential preconceived notions by readers out of every post, thus avoiding the back and forth discussion that can get very personal and is unproductive. I have a theory that some people have relied on these blogs for social interaction, and so they become a bit threatened when Anonymous's appear, people with whom they cannot develop a "relationship", people who may say things with which they don't agree but they cannot put it in perspective by assigning the view to one particular poster. I also think certain group social dynamics, a pecking order for lack of a better term, have been established by the regulars, and they are uncomfortable when an Anonymous appears who they cannot pin down, pigeon hole, track, etc. They cannot control something when they don't know what that something is, or how extensive its presence. One thing's for sure, these sites do not provide true social companionship, and anyone who is looking for that here is sadly living under an illusion. To me the purpose of these blogs is to share ideas about the topic at hand. That's all. Whether a comment is signed Anonymous, or something else, it should not matter.

It seems a bit iffy that a man would run this particular picture, and all to "win" an argument. It's a disappointment, but it's not surprising. People tend to give into their worst impulses when it comes to Sarah Palin. Far better to discuss Piper's absenteeism. This is legitimate scrutiny. Making cheap comments about Sarah Palin's appearance is lame.

    IMHO, Palin looks pretty good. But that's NOT the point. If she hadn't gone on and on about being a runner, no one would be looking at her legs and knowing that she (again) is a liar. If she hadn't done that Runner's World interview about being such a physical fitness nut, no one would be saying much of anything. BUT once again Palin can't help herself and has to LIE about being a great runner. So sad.

    But I do think it's hysterical that the Peebots are now excited that "liberal women" will support Palin because she has cellulite. Perhaps if she had a brain, it might make a difference - sorry.

    While some may argue that showing these pictures is petty and not relevant, I have to disagree. Sarah's entire life has been based on pimping her body. The Runners mag pissed me off because I am an active outdoors person, and not a single person I know gets tarted up like that to work out. Btw...I'm a few older, no nip/tuck or botox and look way better than Sarah. Maybe I should run for office.

    I think the more relevant story is the T-shirt that says.....Bla, Bla, Bla....Get the Hell out.

    I'm sorry, that is NOT a shirt that would be worn by any "real" Evangelical Christian. I grew up with Evangelicals and most of my family members are still Evangelical Christians.

    I'm really surprised that Billy Graham is willing to put his reputation on the line for this grifter. This woman continues to show them who she is and they are ignoring all the signs that she is a fraud.

    Her knees, legs and hag face, who cares, so we all know the Runners world picture was compression stockings and photo enhanced.

    We know she puts makeup on with a trowel, stiffs her hairdressers while traveling, and wears wigs.

    These photos should go viral for one reason only, to show that she is a fool.

    Well, I didn't think I would ever offer a defense of $P, but I have to agree with the people who think the cellulite doesn't necessarily mean she lies about running. She may not run as much as she says, but cellulite doesn't mean she is a total couch potato.

    I have been thin and active my entire life, and I have had cellulite since puberty. Weight lifting, running, and cycling all help minimize the appearance slightly, but it tends to look more pronounced on people with pale skin. Also, it's a bit harder for some women to get muscle definition unless they are endurance runners or they add a weight lifting program to their workouts. Madonna makes it look easier than it is. Estrogen can be a b*tch. ;)

    I agree with Gryphen that she certainly isn't the super athlete she makes herself out to be, and I also think that Gryph has for the most part tried to be fair, but the cellulite thing may be a too little harsh.

    ((FWIW, my life-long cellulite started to rapidly decrease in appearance this past year after I found out I was gluten-intolerant and cut gluten out of my diet. It was a very pleasant side affect. :) ))

    Yes, it's unfortunate that people will cry sexism, but as usual, Sarah loves sexism when it works in her favor and decries it when it works against her.

    I'm far more concerned about her not putting hats on her kids and about Piper missing so much school. Let's not forget what Piper said to Matt Lauer last year about how hard it was to catch up from all the school she missed during the campaign.

    Sarah, you are teaching your daughter how not to care about school.

    First pictures with the "if you don't like America get the Hell out" shirt, and the McCains name blotted out visor were for the plebes, and to give the finger to the McCain crew.

    Also no older kids, so this is a YOUNG family unit. HO HO HO. To show a family unit.

    No visor or shirt for Trig, but as close to a shot of her showing any affection as any of $.Palin with the boy.

    Of course she never has that blackberry out of her hands.

    She knew she was being photographed. Doesn't realize how much older she can look without makeup.

    And after all the fuss about security for her at all the book signings, why mingle with the masses? There are plenty of private spots.

    Folks, the gossip mags are constantly going after celebrities and their cellulite. their trips south and to Europe will show up after Christmas. she has put herself into the spotlight, so she will get all the publicity, good and not so good, that goes with the territory.

    I am far heavier than Scarah and have less cellutite than her. I watch my diet rigidly, but cannot exercize because of Asthma. Also have a relative who does marathons and is very thin and wiry. Runner best body type that I know of is thin and wiry.

    Gryph is right about the muscle tone. My brother ran for years. Was a heavier body type, but his leg muscles were very well defined.

  79. That picture is a good indication of just how little hair Palin has, and how fine it is (the diameter of the rubberbanded hair in the poneytail). When she is usually seen in public, she must be wearing a couple additional pounds of hair extensions and wiglets.

    All you folks talking about the cellulite on the back of Palin's legs -- doesn't matter if she's a "runner" -- the cellulite's THERE -- and that's probably because she's been sitting on her ass for a month in a jet, a bus, on a chair in bookstores.

    Even if she goes back to "thrashing her abs" running again, at 45 going on 46 she's got an uphill battle to get rid of the cellulite once it's there.

    Being petty about Sarah's looks is insulting to all women. I don't like Sarah, but wondering about her cellulite is evil and ridiculous. All women, even runners and models, have cellulite. It goes with the territory. Whether she's running or not at the moment, her legs and the rest of her body look just fine for someone who's had four kids. Also, there are all kinds of "runners" and not all of them are skinny, wiry marathoners. I have an ultramarathoner friend who you would swear couldn't run a mile just my looks.

  96. Anonymous @ 5:33, I must respectfully disagree with your verbose and sweeping assessment of why using "Anonymous" -- consistently when one is a frequent visitor and commentor to a blog -- should be accepted without question by others commenting on the blog.

    In fact, you bring up many "reasons" that I'll bet never occurred to some of us here, me in particular, such as being "paranoid", or that there is a clique or club of posters with relationships -- all I can say to that is...LOL. Not here. Gryphen has been the target, not us, his friends, and he's been courageous about facing the evil of attacks on him. We can try to be as courageous ourselves.

    I, for one, don't feel "threatened" by the Anonymouses -- my only objection is that it's like conversing with someone who's wearing a black blanket from head to toe. I don't give a damn who they are, I'm not asking to "see their face" or care where they live -- I'd just like to know that the person who said "SOMETHING @ 10:00 AM" that echoes "a comment at 9:00 AM" either is the same person following up on that comment, or is a different person with the same viewpoint.

    When they BOTH use "Anonymous" and don't otherwise differentiate who they are, it's very confusing.

    ----------

    P.S. DO call yourself Loopdeedoo, and use it consistently. I'm sure no one else would choose that name intentionally, and the rest of us would know it's you, time after time.

    P.P.S. Maybe I should just ignore all Anonymous comments. Even verbose ones that attempt a faux psychological analysis of why I feel the way I do.

He carefully and thoughtfully pointed out the lack of muscular definition in her legs and how this is probably not how someone's legs would look if they were a serious runner (which $arah claims to be). This ultimately serves to highlight $P's hypocracy.

    With all due respect, please look at the picture again, reread Gryphen's analysis, and then ask yourself again, is $P *really* as serious an athlete/runner as she claims to be? Hmmm?

    I was trying to think of how I'd feel if someone posted a picture of Hillary Clinton on vacation, wearing shorts. I can't help feeling like this is different. Hillary conducts her political life by going on trips to other countries, meeting with established political officials, giving public speeches, doing mainstream interviews, etc. If she were on vacation I'd feel like she deserved a little privacy.

    However, Sarah conducts her political life, such as it is, by Facebook, by carefully controlled public appearances, and by disingenuous public appearances that are made to LOOK private-- like her vacation to Hawaii, complete with a visor with McCain's name defaced. There is no separation of public and private life-- everything, her vacations, her children, her acquaintances, are grist for her political mill.

    I fully expect that Sarah MEANT to be seen on this vacation (hence the matching shirts) and I don't feel that her privacy is being invaded or that questions about whether yet another of her claims has been thoroughly debunked.

There are homeless and mentally ill on the streets of our cities and on and on and on--yet, some folks, here, have their panties in a wad because some choose to post using "Anonymous."

    I post using Anonymous and am likely to continue posting in that way. Since Gryphen has my moral support and appreciation, I have no qualms in doing so.

    Even if I signed this post with Marilyn Monroe, Soupy Sales or Ghengis Khan, it would make no difference--nor would calling myself windjammer, orange juice, or seerockcity, fer chrissakes.

    These names would have no more reality and reflect no more truth about who I am than when Sarah Palin calls herself, " a Christian."

    Think about it.

    I think saying she's not a runner meansShe is not the "runner" she claims to beremember how she would gloat aboutSweat is her sanityLoves thrashing her thighsthem tight abs prevented a pregnant belly?That funky cellulite on the back of the legs comes from one thing.. Sitting alot!I know!I was a waitress for years with be-u-tiful legs.. then got a sit down job.  Within 3 months the backs of my thighs look like thatShe may like "running" but she isn't the star athlete runner she likes to portray.  She truly needs to move past the beauty pageant years and star basketball player.Those were 20 years ago.... move on Sarah.And what's with the piddly excuse for the magic marker (or one of the billion Sharpee's she probably has left over from the book tour) on her visor.Whateveha!If you want to remain low key you wear another hat.. you don't go walking around with big flags on your shirt and oil logos on your other hats.  And TAWD.. in a big Flag tshirt as well.She is such a goof.

    "why did she decide to appear "au natural" for the camera this time ?? "

    Because when she looks in the mirror au natural, she doesn't see what we see in those pictures. She knew the pictures with McCain visor were being taken. I think she or someone tipped off TMZ where she'd be. I don't think she knew the pictures with the pink hat were being taken. Have you seen how she made sure her picture was taken running today?

    Anyone who is a runner has well devined leg muscles, especially the calves.
    Sarah does not have either the thighs of calf muscles of a a runner.

    If you look at the interveiw about the Bush Doctrine last fall you can see she has terrible posture. Runners have great posture. Also look at the way that she is bent over in this picture with that big hump in the middle of her back. Again a person who is fit bends at the waist and their back stays straight.

    Yikes...that was a scary picture. I'm a snowbird who goes to FL during the winter. The retirees are obsessed with walking. They may have potbellies but by golly they have better looking legs than Palin. I'm serious! They're 80 with the legs of a 25 yr old. It's amazing. lol

    I'm about to pull out my hair reading these stupid comments!!!! ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT READING????

    It isn't about the cellulite. It's about the LACK OF MUSCLE TONE. Gryphen CLEARLY said it was about muscle tone.

    But no, all you people with cellulite are projecting your own negative feelings on Gryphen.

    Aaaarrrggghhhh!

    Responding to two comments:

    ** Anyone who is a runner has well devined (sic) leg muscles, especially the calves.
    Sarah does not have either the thighs of calf muscles of a a runner.


    and

    ** It isn't about the cellulite. It's about the LACK OF MUSCLE TONE. Gryphen CLEARLY said it was about muscle tone.

    There was a time when I trained at about 100 miles per week. Note: trained. Yeah, I was pretty serious about my running. A typical 10 mile training run was at about 6 minute mile clip. I've trained with some pretty serious runners - men and women who could run circles around s'error palin at various distances and some of whom were members of the US Olympic teams.

    Although I ran a good quantity at a quick pace, I had no "defined" calf muscles. Calf muscles are not just the gastrocs but also the soleus, plantaris and peroneus longus. Of all the muscle areas of the body, the calf keeps its toned look the longest.

    I've taken the time to look at the various pictures of Palin taken during the past day or so. She's got good tone for her age and history. Although she's got some cheese on the backside, the hamstrings are clearly evident to anyone who knows anything about basic anatomy. The same with her quads. Does she have loose skin? Sure. But people have also said she looks like she lost some weight recently. One begets the other.

    There's really nothing wrong with her legs when you consider her age, her gender, and the fact that she's birthed at least 4 kids.

    Now, her head, moral attitude and whininess... well, you've got a point there. But you are way beyond yourself about her legs. Almost to the point of being misogynistic in the comments.

    Oh, one other thing for the poster who claims G "clearly said it was about muscle tone." G said no such thing. Never even used the phrase. And if he did, he'd be flat wrong.

  145. 1) When I was in high school soccer and x-country and skiing and doing sub 20min 5k's I had cellulite. Admittedly, I had and have a much different leg structure than she does. But don't be making people that are in some sort of shape freak out about themselves. That is just mean.

    2) Personally, I am looking to read critiques of Palin as a public figure and politician. Having to weed through the catty comments is almost as annoying as Palin herself.

    She's not a politician. She quit. Her choice.

    And we thought she quit the Turkey Trot because she didn't want the little people mobbing her at the end. Now we know it's because she COULDN'T finish the run.
