Lance Having A Second Go For NYCM '07?

TheFinalSprint.com quoted the Associated Press, THE man will be doing the race again this Nov 4th. However my interpretation of the report is that there's no specific commitment from Armstrong. I also agree with many Runners World forumites that should he run again, which is in fact a good thing for the sport, many of us are hoping that the accompanying circus (thanks to Nike) will be conspicuously missing. Last year he was accompanied by no less than 6 minders comprised of former WR holders Alberto Salazar, Hicham El Guerrouj and Joan Samuelson. His 3:59 debut was amazing but I believe he's capable of much faster. And for him to do it just like any other marathoners on race day, without the preferential (some say presidential) treatment, would be even sweeter.
