half-marathon
Petar is running the Rock’n’ Roll San Jose half-marathon today! 2 months ago, he decided that he’ll do it and he’s been training ever since. That is when his knees are not hurting. I’ve never seen so many people in downtown San Jose … it almost felt like a regular weekday morning in New York. Or this is how I imagine a regular weekday in Tokyo. I am here just for the moral support and for taking some pictures this year but maybe next year I’ll be one of the walkers. I don’t enjoy running but I saw a lot of people walking and that may be something for me (if I am in shape by then - although it’s a good challenge to get in shape so I’ll seriously consider it!).
My only complaint is that their live tracking system is not working - I can’t see if P. (or anyone at all) has passed the 5 or 10 km mark but in 30 mins I am heading to the Finish line. Maybe he’ll make it in under 2 hours. Go, Petar!

It was a great experience! Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish in less than 2 hours - my time was 2:06:57
