Lance Armstrong is with us live on the plaza this morning.

Good to see you man.
Good to see you.
Alright.
I remember having a doing interview with you years ago, and you said, I look forward to the day I'm gonna have a potbelly, and I'm going to be sitting there coaching my kids soccer games or whatever. What made you decide to run?

Well, / I had always, I'd always been a runner in fact. That was, really the first sport that I ever did before swimming, before cycling, before triathlon. So I did a little bit of it in the winner time, so you know, it's a former cross training, and then, then you finish your career and you decide, that you know, you don't want to sit around, you don't wanna get a potbelly,(Right) you wanna try something, something different.

Are you ready? Because I've read in the What USA Today yesterday, she didn't spend lunch and you got a problem...
Settle down lady, settle down.

Are you ,are you feeling alright?
I feel okay. I mean, that there is an interview got two day to go, so there is nothing to deal with I'm switching change wenstor.

Right.

They sort of knock-up on me, when I did my last long run, and I've been in arsenal, and taking heavy profile, and...

We call that Vi..When you get to my age, we call it Vitamin-I.

Yeah, Vitamin-I, I take a lot of Vitamin-I.

Right, right.

Now do you have a goal, time-wise, or anything like that?

Err...I'd like to break through the hours, I've never done a marathon, so I don't know . I mean I could/I can be crawling at the end, Actually. But maybe I have a great day, and do 2:45. But I think 3 hours is probably realistic.

You have your head on tentum, this is, this past October was the tenth anniversary of your cancer diagnosis. What does it mean to you, to wake up on that October morning just a month ago, and know that you are alive, and here, and vital, and still very much present.

Yeah, it meant a lot. I mean, that morning was a simple morning in my live in the/in the sense that you know woke up , had my kids that day, took them to school, make them breakfast. It was not exactly a wild morning.And I just took the day just to reflect on what it /what it means to be a cancer survivor. How quickly, yet, how long ten years has taken.
(Now) And in that night, we had a get-together with friends. It's interesting, you know, I guess ten years ago, I didn't think that I'd be in this place, I didn't think I'd be sitting here, I didn't think that/ the burden of cancer would still be what it is today in this country, or all of the world in fact. Then I look forward ten more years, fighting the disease and trying to make a difference.

Oh, we, er, saw you in Iowa this summer, you read a little bit of rag bribe, but you appealed with Tom Harkin and some other Senators. You are trying to get the United States government to spend more money on fighting cancer. How much money are you trying to raise?

Well, I mean, money is clearly important, money/money is good for /for funding research, funding the institutes that we need so much. But more importantly the country and its leadership needs to have a focus on the disease. I mean this is/this is gonna become the number 1 killer in this country, it's complacent, it's/it's an old problem. And we forget about the disease a lot of time. So we'll focus on /on not just the current administration but the future administration, just knowing the disease, just need to open its drug. and of course you know these days, the budgets are little tighter than they were in the past. Everybody is fighting for money, but this is the one that we have to refocus on, and we ultimately have to end. It's time to do other things, it's time to focus on the issue,cancer, time to focus on the other little goals/ objectives like running a marathon, being a father, the things that /the sport of cycling and the tour would take away from. So, no,no ,never again.

Now, I'll tell you what. A lot of people are gonna be watching you this Sunday, and I work with some cancer survivors up here. It's long catering. For a lot of people, you are/you are a great symbol of, not just a hope, but real survival. So we appreciate it, and have a good time on Sunday.Right?
Yeah,I'll try.
Alright.
I'll try.
