Lance Armstrong’s LIVESTRONG Foundation is pretty cool… it seems that everyone has been effected by cancer in some way. I have a few family members that are cancer survivors and fighters – so why not support the cause!? I’ve been sick for the past week so I thought running the 5k to get back into the workout swing would be a good way to start. It’s only 3.2 miles and you really get to see a side of downtown San Jose most of the locals don’t ever see. The streets are shutdown and it’s quiet. Not that downtown San Jose can be as chaotic as SF or NYC etc… but it was a very enjoyable run.

Got there and checked out the venue map… checked out the message wall headed to the staging area and headed out for the run… it wasn’t a race though there were some rabbits out there – I ran an easy 25:50 strolling through downtown looking around while I ran. I wish I could’ve carried my cam but nah – finished and got a shot on the big screen LOL

On the way home saw these folks riding their big bar bikes… can’t wait til my ride is done!
