It depends on your point of view.

To a sub-3 hour marathoner like yourself, 3:48 is darn slow.
To MOST PEOPLE who have run marathons, anything under 4
hours is impressive.

I think any marathon 2:59 or faster is extremely impressive.
That is sub-7 minute miles and to me, fairly mind blowing.

I could manage 6 minute miles for a couple at a time but
could only do 7:59 miles for my marathon P.R.

So, we await your impressive reply.

Geez, from the reaction I got, you'd think I'd compared her
to Yoko Ono or something.

Funny, I was thinking just the opposite. I can
comfortably climb l'Alpe d'Huez in under one hour and
used to run <40 min 10km. But I know there is no way I
can comfortably do a 3:48 marathon. ...guess that's why I
ride now instead of run!

Some guy named Bills or Mills was on local radio last night.
He was the amateur coach who "discovered" Lance, reportedly.

He said Sheryl Crow looks a LOT nicer from farther away
than close up.

Hey clueless (i.e., marathon52),

Did you not happen to notice Sam's email address? He knows
far more about running than most of those posting to this
newsgroup, including, I believe, you.

Thanks! Coppi would give these guys 20 minutes in the
hills, and that is factoring in a panino and beer break at
the ski lodge.

You know, Bruce, you've mentioned that she must be
jealous a couple times here. I don't know that I buy that
as a "for sure" thing. People react to things like split-
ups in many different ways - sometimes there's jealousy,
sometimes relief.

True, I don't know if she's jealous but SC is a class act,
and I would think someone to be jealous about. She can sing,
play instruments and she fits Lance lifestyle good so far,
being into fitness and all. How many of these atributes did
his former X have (none). It would seem that she must be a
little jealous. SC and Lance are (huge) right now. Of course
the one thing she can always be proud of is her kids.

Are 'love children' commonly artificially inseminated?
