Update: Sept. 8: “Lance Armstrong coming out of retirement in 2009?”
Just for the record, Lance Armstrong finished the 2007 New York City Marathon in 2-hours 46-minutes, beating his inaugural run last year by 13 minutes.
The official marathon website listed Armstrong as finishing 233rd, although other reports put him in the low 600s. Some 39,000 ran in the marathon on Sunday.
The news source that seems to have more coverage of Armstrong than any other, E! Online, also reported that Ashley Olsen was “nowhere to be seen” at the finish line. Apparently the two were seen together earlier this week playing kissy-face.
Bizarre resume
For the past couple of years, I've been getting daily google news alerts for Lance Armstrong, who won his 7th Tour de France in 2005. Here's an example of one day's headlines from last week, just to show how weird Armstrong's life has become:
