Answer 2
This is a trick question because either he lied about how long he run or was unintentionally confused.
Forrest supposedly started running when Jimmy Carter collapsed (that possible heart attack scare) while running his six mile race in October (I think it was on the 1st), 1979; and he stopped when Ronald Reagan assassination attempt took place on March 21, 1981. That's not even one and a half a year, and considerably shorter than 3 years, 2 months, 14 days and 16 hours.
