The Lance question

As a cyclist, I often have friends and colleagues ask me "So, do you think Lance ever used drugs?"

But the answer I really want to give is READ THIS:

Post-marathon

I finally got to the hospital today to get this glandular problem worked out. Good news is I'm basically very healthy - white blood cell count, lungs etc all healthy. More results next week.

My knee is slowly recovering from the marathon (bad ITB pain). I can walk now, and cycling is fine. I'll give running a try later this week.

On the hunt for 10km runs now - need to run as many as possible before a big 12km run in Australia in September.

Twitter

Wondering why cyclists Tweet more often than runners.

Runners on Twitter

Finding runners on Twitter has proved much harder than finding cyclists. And the runners who are on Twitter tend to Tweet less often. Someone should so a study...

Anyway, here's some runners on Twitter

twitter.com/track_news (very good)
twitter.com/tashadanvers (British hurdler)
twitter.com/PreRaceJitters (Track website)
twitter.com/TysonGay (appears to be the real deal, but no Tweet since Beijing)
