Houston Running: Runner's World: Armstrong on Armstrong

Houston Running

One of the leading sources for the discussion of Houston-area (and Texas as well) road racing. Focus and attention will be given to Houston-area runners, specifically HARRA members, that compete in outside-of-the-area events as well as those who do interesting things that aren't captured in the various media outlets, such as Inside Texas Running, Runner Triathlete News and Roberta MacInnis' Running Notebook in the Houston Chronicle (all fine publications and columns but with limitations too).

About Me

Name: WalkSports.com

Location: Spring, Texas, United States

I'm a mid-to-the back of the pack runner who probably enjoys promoting runners more than I do running myself ... I've completed 21 marathons (with a 4:47:32 PR! in Austin) and 52 half marathons (with a 2:09:58 PR! in Oregon) since November 2003 ... I've done a marathon in 12 states, half marathon in 23 and an event in 30 states and one Canadian province ... I have a 13-year-old daughter, Waverly Nicole, who completed her first half marathon in January 2006, made only two B's each of the last two years, was the only sixth grader to sing a solo (Carrie Underwood's Don't Forget To Remember Me) in their choir program (adding Taylor Swift's Tim McGraw in '08) and scored a 19 on the ACT in December 2007 as a seventh grader ... Waverly and I are members of the following clubs -- the Seven Hills Running Club, HARRA and The Woodlands Running Club ... I'm Marathon Maniac #308 ... I edit HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running and write a column for Runner Triathlete News called, "Talking the Talk" ... I'm also the running columnist for the Courier of Montgomery County ... I'm a three-time winner of TAPPS' Sportswriter of the Year Award as well as TABC's Golden Hoops Award.

Runner's World: Armstrong on Armstrong

If you have about 15 minutes of uninterrupted time, I would recommend you go to Runner's World and watch the four videos titled "Armstrong on Armstrong".

To me, they're really worth watching.

Then, once you do, come back and leave a comment and share with us all your thoughts. (I wonder if you have the same thoughts that I do.)

Woodlands Runner said...: Lance comes off sounding a bit like a jerk. Perhaps there's still some raw emotions there, especially towards the end when he says, "what are you feeding these kids? They all want mom to win over dad..."; 8:31 AM
Tiggs said...: I thought the first 3 clips were fine. The "mom can suck it" part...well, camera or not I woulda let him have it if I was her. He came off looking like he thinks he's the man...and yeh, he is, but he doesn't have to act like it.; 10:15 AM
Katy Lampson said...: Well, my opinion might be a little biased, but I don't think he sounded like a jerk. Other than the competition with her, he was very humble when it comes to great running. And, I think he was just playing with her.

I think they just need to kiss and make up - they obviously, still have it for each other!; 7:17 PM
WalkSports.com said...: Mrs. Lampson, you get the prize! (Not sure what it is though .. ah, van captain perhaps?)

I thought the exact same thing.

If a guy can say it and get away with it, I thought that it was actually kind of "sweet" and that there was still a lot of love there between them.; 9:22 PM
Adrienne Langelier, MA said...: I liked the term "wasband" that Kristen opened up with. Not to be too "psychological" but they do have an interesting dynamic between the two of them. Obviously, to follow up on Katy's comment, dating celebrities has not fared well for him!; 7:27 PM
