Lance Armstrong says he has a void to fill after retiring from cycling, so he's entering the New York City Marathon on Nov. 5. He'll be following in the footsteps of his former wife.
Armstrong, who competed as a triathlete as a teen-ager, told the Associated Press that he was considering the Chicago Marathon, but the 26-mile foot race in New York City fit his schedule better.
“I've been training some, but I wouldn't call it serious. It's just something to fill a void in my life after I quit competing as a professional cyclist.”
I wonder if he'll run into first wife Kristin Armstrong. The mother of his children has become a marathon runner, finishing last year's Chicago Marathon in 3 hours and 35 minutes, fast enough to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
In fact, she's a contributor to Runner's World magazine and ran in the New York City Marathon in 2004.
