    Lance, can we talk, marathoner to marathoner?

    You should get lots of rest and make sure you take your vitamin C. One in seven marathoners will get a cold during the first two weeks after the marathon. And guess, what...sometimes you're lucky enough to get two. Like me!

    And when that happens...your blog gets prett-y boring. I haven't had anything to talk about the last week except how NyQuil is my favorite coughing, sneezing, stuffyhead, fever, so you can rest medicine. (And though the NyQuil had expired in 2004, and probably had no real effect...at 2 a.m. I would have taken laudanum circa 1850 if I'd had any on hand.)



    Okay, so I have to say, my favorite part about Lance running the marathon is when he said that the marathon is the toughest thing he ever did. Really?

    I also really love that he started complaining at mile 10 (mile 23, for me, thankyouverymuch) and then he whined about his pain afterward almost as much as I did after the race....maybe even more!

    It's almost like we are the same person...except I didn't have Heather on my race number...and I ran it in twice the time...and he was being paced by Olympians...but otherwise, you have to admit the likeness really is uncanny.

    Now, I suppose I'll have to go sip champagne while riding my bike on the Champs Elysee and making out with Matthew McConaughey.
