Armstrong is running
During the summer I usually hang up my running shoes in favor of the bike. And for seven years I watched almost every stage of the Tour de France. I was a Tour geek, able to identify the entire U.S. Postal (and then Discovery Channel) team as well as the top contenders in each year’s race. I even own the 2003 Tour de France DVD set (by far the most exciting of Lance Armstrong’s Tours) and have watched all 8 discs multiple times while riding the stationary trainer. Sad, I know. The combination of doping scandals and Armstrong’s retirement have dampened my enthusiasm so I haven’t followed it much since. Still, Lance is an incredible athlete. He qualified for Boston with a 2:43 in the New York marathon – a swift 6:13 per mile pace. At around 9:00 per mile I probably won’t see him, but at least I will be able to say I ran in the same race as Lance Armstrong.
