Lance Armstrong must be getting to like his running game. I wonder if he's lacing up his running shoes more these days than his cycling cleats.
Armstrong is running in the high-profile Boston Marathon on April 21 to help raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. It will be his third marathon.
He qualified for the 112th event by finishing last year's New York Marathon in 2:46:43. The qualifying time for his age group — 35-39 — is 3:15…

Film producer Frank Marshall says the Lance Armstrong biopic is still on the front burner and might proceed as early as next summer.
Marshall, who has produced and or directed such blockbusters as the Indiana Jones and Bourne series of movies, is currently working on sequels to Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park, among some other projects.
He said there's no truth to rumors that the Armstrong film is on hold because of all the doping controversy in cycling ……

The latest tour for Lance Armstrong is a USO tour of US military bases in seven countries in the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe.
Armstrong is joined on the Road to Kabul by biking buddy Robin Williams, comedian Lewis Black, Kid Rock, Miss USA Rachel Smith, and Irish tenor Ronan Tynan.
They're all on a non-stop six-day 14-show tour that started in the heat of the desert but soon was flying into swirling snow in Afghanistan. Armstrong is posting blog entries from the trip at the Lance Armstrong Foundation website. On landing in Kabul…

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 …

The Lance Armstrong Foundation has filed a trademark infringement suit against a Tulsa man who sells BarkStrong and PurrStrong dog and cat collars.
The collars are too similar to the bright yellow LiveStrong bracelets, the foundation says. The cancer support group founded by bicyclist Lance Armstrong has sold 65 million of the bracelets at $1 each.
Chris Ohman, founder of Animal Charity Collar Group Inc., defends himself in the Tulsa World newspaper, saying the collars aren't bright yellow like the LiveStrong bracelets and they glow in the dark, something that the LiveStrong bracelets don't do…

“I'd love to answer the question but unfortunately I'm out of that business. I'm here to fight cancer. I haven't looked online. I still love the bike and ride all the time but on the competitive side I'm just not engaged.”
Lance Armstrong in response to reporter's questions regarding Floyd Landis losing his appeal of doping charges raised after the 2006 …

Battling to make the fight against cancer a campaign issue in the 2008 presidential election, Lance Armstrong is asking supporters to thank the candidates who participated in his Iowa forums last month.

Maybe RAGBRAI XXXV is in danger of becoming LAGBRAI II at times, but that's OK if the issue is the fight against cancer.
Presidential candidate John Edwards rode with Lance Armstrong on Wednesday, following a convertible packed with media and surrounded by a pack of riders about 50 deep.
Edwards, who said he's only ridden a bicycle one or two times in 20 years, is the only presidential candidate to accept Armstrong's invitation to ride with him for a spell in RAGBRAI …
