Not bad for someone that a few people on this Forum call a cheater.
At least some people cared about Lance.
All of Larry's "achievements" are dubious achievements even if they were legit. Anyone with money and time could have these records.
Guinness book is full of novelty crap, and clearly not something many people take seriously. Even Guinness.
Marathon Maniacs and the 50 states clubs are a groups of mostly slow runners who focus on finishing huge quantities of runs. Great... I guess...
By the way PM seems to have been stripped of her Marathon Maniac status. Her number is Vacant. She was and I kid you not: #6666

Her "Maniac of the Year" awards are no where to be found either.
RELISH AND REVEL IN THOSE MEANINGLESS RECORDS WHILE YOU CAN LARRY, CUZ YOU'RE NEXT!
