Kristin Armstrong

Okay, Oprah has a show on today that I hope to watch. Kristin Armstrong, Lance Armstrong's ex-wife, is on the show.

I have no idea what she's going to say, but here's my take on Lance.

When you:
  • have a wife who stays with you through a devastating diagnosis, treatment, and recovery
  • freeze your swimmers in order to father children with said woman after the treatment is over
  • choose to have not one but two pregnancies, resulting in THREE children who could not have existed without your financial resources and the intervention of many talented medical professionals
You do NOT dump her for a trashy rock star.

Live strong, my ass. Throw those bracelets away, people. Tour de France or no, this man is not a hero of mine.

  1. He was treated here in Indiana at the Cancer Center.

    I have never really been much of a fan of him anyway--he never speaks. He just rides around in a yellow outfit on a bike. Be sure and let us know how the show goes. I would love to watch that one.

  4. I thought Lance Armstrong didn't meet or marry his first wife until after his cancer treatment. Plus also, does he need to be either a hero or a jerk? Couldn't he just be someone who's good in some ways and lousy in others? I'm not a fan of his, I'm just wondering. BTW, how was the show?
