Seriously? OMG! WTF?

SHERYL CROW’s ex-fiance LANCE ARMSTRONG is struggling with his bid to complete the New York Marathon – and he’s beginning to think it was a bad idea. The Tour De France champion plans to join celebrities like THE STREETS’ MIKE SKINNER for the 26-mile run in November (06), but he admits training is much harder than he initially anticipated. Armstrong says, "It’s painful. Running is totally different from cycling – the impact on the body. "Those guys (marathon runners) train hard, watch what they eat and go to bed early – things I don’t want to do anymore. I’m over that. I like to have a bit of fun." Armstrong has been given a celebrity boost as he trains in Los Angeles – MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY and JAKE GYLLENHAAL are helping the retired cycling star get in supershape for the marathon.

The 36-year-old American announced his plans Saturday during a news conference at the All England Club, where Wimbledon starts Monday and he is seeded 25th.

"It’s been a lot of sacrifices the last few months, trying to get myself right to come back here and enjoy this tournament for the last time," said Agassi, who has played only one match during the past three months because of back trouble.

"It’s been a long road this year for me, and for a lot of reasons. It’s great to be here. This Wimbledon will be my last, and the U.S. Open will be my last tournament."

He intends to play in four hard-court events in the United States between Wimbledon and the Open, in what will amount to a farewell tour for one of the most popular and successful tennis players in history.
