Kristen Armstrong, ex-wife of Lance Armstrong and mother of their three children, has spent the last five years since her divorce from Lance trying to find herself again, eventually succeeding through “friends, faith, family, running and writing.” She now blogs for Runner’s World, participates in family fitness events across the U.S., and is currently preparing for the Boston Marathon next month.

Lance Armstrong has spent the last five years since his divorce in a similar fashion: finding women, eventually succeeding through fame, money, and a well-cultivated public image. The 36-year-old’s two-year relationship with singer Sheryl Crow ended in 2006, making more time for Tory Burch, Ashley Olsen, and Playboy Playmates at a Playboy party at SWSX this week.

Lance Armstrong will also participate in the Boston Marathon in April.

While it’s unlikely both runners will cross paths due to their qualifying times, we certainly hope they continue to find their own paths to happiness and maturity, though perhaps a less circuitous path for one of them - more Tour de Life than mid-life velodrome, perhaps.
