Alright, Paula...nice to see her in...she always makes for a great race.
Lance...couldn't care less. Sorry. Just not a hero of mine.

ha ha ha... I knew he couldn't keep away. He said it was the hardest thing he'd ever done and he would never do it again... except he might. And he is. A man with a goal that will not be denied! I'll bet he trained a lot harder for it this year :)
I'd like to see him go sub 3 but super 2:42 - just so he can maintain some humilty.

Also hooray for Paula Radcliff. She is one class act - I really like her.

Second to Culpepper, Paula Radcliffe is my running hero. I expect Lance to run around a 2:53.

OOooooh... LANCE Armstrong. Whatever. For some strange reason I thought it might be NEIL Armstrong. Now that would be awesome!

There are no excuses - so don't look for them. As a product of your own choices, you directly determine your life outcomes.
Don't think, just do.

You know what? When Lance said he would never run a Marathon again, it made me think. We allll at some point during - or right after a hard race have said "man, I will never do that again" Or "what the heck was I thinking" and so on. I know during my last 1/2 IM I told myself this would be my last one 1/2 way into the run. I am now signed up for 2 next year and flirting with the idea of a full IM:eek:
I remember during my first Tri, a sprint, I swore this was crazy and I would never but myself through sooo much pain again. After the race was over, I wish I had another one lined up for the next week.

Today is the first day I am feeling somewhat normal after the IM and found myself contemplating the Philly Marathon in Nov. Still probably won't do it, but thinking about it a little.
Addiction? Absolutely.

haha very true. halfway into the swim in my first sprint I said "screw this! road biking is so much easier!" now I'm planning tri's for next year and working on an olympic distance training program.
"now I only have good days and great days."
Guess since the race is just about a month away it makes sense the big names will start dropping for the race. The New York Times today mentions in a profile piece on Lance that he does plan to return again this year - with a target of sub-three hours. Training appears to be running, gym time and kayaking centric.
Also of note, Paula Radcliffe, current women’s world record holder, announced she’ll make her marathon comeback after a two year break at the NY Marathon. Last week, at the Great North Run in South Shields, England she took second in the half marathon behind Kara Goucher.
