news du jour

This just in: Greg LeMond drops Floyd Landis in it big time. This isn't the first time Greg has cried "doping". He also pointed at Lance, and has previously made pointed references to Tyler.

Lemond is kind of an easy target, and he has had a rough life. Bernie Hinault pooped all over him in the Tour in 1986, after Lemond gave him the win the year before. As a result of being shot by his brother in law (horrible turkey shooting gone wrong), he claims to suffer from Mitochondrial Fatigue. I'm no doctor, but as diseases go, that's a little far out there. He came back later and had some great career successes in spite of this condition.

I'm just gonna say it...He sounds like he probably wears a tinfoil hat.

But I'll reserve judgement.

I've had a supercrappy day, but it was made much better by going for a run. Isn't it great how even a mediocre run will rejuvenate a bad day? My middling 6-miler has made me feel like a human again.

A sweaty, salty human.

Screw the crap, I'm leaving town. I'm gonna stay with 21st Century Mom, and we're gonna run the Bay to Breakers. My understanding is that it's less of a run and more of a Mardi Gras parade with running shoes. There will probably be a lot of naked people.

Salty, sweaty, naked people.

Oh I am so taking a camera!

Lots of naked, fit people? Make sure it's a motion camera. You can put it up on You Tube and do a double feature along with Boulder's annual Naked Pumpkin Run. HAVE FUN!

Greg LeMond is a big fat cry baby - maybe a ride on his tricycle will make him feel better.

Yeah for blogger visits and crazy runs!

Lemond's a sell out. He's also owned by Trek.

Mmmm naked people run. In a month is Hike Naked Day. I need to go again this year..... Buy the seat pack yet?

Sweaty salty naked people! It doesn't get any better than that!

Have a great weekend!

Kind of reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry's girlfriend walked around nekkid in his apartment. To set her straight, although I don't know why anyone would want to do that, he strolled out naked with a power sander and started sanding his floors.

She got grossed out and that was that.

I'm not sure I'd want to see a bunch of nekkid people running.

Nekkid, yes.

Running, no.

Best of luck with the run!

If you actually read the article, it sounds like LeMond was made quite the victim here. What Landis' manager did was unforgivably evil. At least he got fired for it.

Oh, have fun at the race! :))
