In Sports Illustrated today it says Lance ran the NYC marathon with a broken shin. "I knew I had shin splints, but I certainly didn't think there was anything broken, and I attributed the pain to the amount of effort it takes to complete a marathon." It also says he will run NYC next year.
Maybe he should run in a more stable shoe then the plus!
Probably a stress fracture. If it was actually broken he wouldn't have been able to walk..:)
Doesn't suprise me that he would have finished with a stress fracture. 20 years of low impact activity will give you a great engine, but 6 months of high impact activity won't put that engine in a sports car body.

Thanks Larry Rawson.

Lance still ran with that ? That\'s the power of steroids, man, magic stuff, but I couldn\'t sleep knowing I have a ticking time bomb in my body. I prssume Lance must also take alot of sedatives with his heavy steroid use lifestyle.
Or maybe Lance is in fact a tough S.O.B. Yeah everyone says he dopes, and even if that's true, you're a fool to think he isn't extremely mentally tough.
It's not like he is afraid of needles. I am sure he just shot the thing up.
he probably broke it during the run, and the stress fracture developled afterwards. usually thats what happens. he probably did not go into it with a stress fracture.
besides, if its in the shin bone, that sucks because that f*ker takes forever to heal.
So, when is this guy going to do as he stated after his last bike win... "spend time with my family". All I have observed is him hob knobing with celebrities in California and New York. Isn't his family in Texas?
plenty of people run with stress fractures, they just done run that much after.
one of my ass. coaches claimed he felt his tibia snap during a 1600 after steping in a dip in an old track, after which he pr\\\'ed.
The only reason Lance could finish and run is cause he's on drugs, c'mon guys, we've all known this for years.

What the hell is an "ass coach"?
I really want to know
