I guess at this point I just want to keep running for fitness and weight control.
Personal:
I was born in Moscow, Russia in '68, where I started running sprint events in '83. I moved to the US (NYC area) in '91 and didn't run again till '96 when I discovered road racing scene. I was hooked after my first 5K race. I had another break in running from '01-'04 and decided to seriously get back into it in August of '05. I'm married and have 16 year old daughter. I have moved to London in August '06, will probably stay here for a few years.
Just putting in the miles. Didn't feel super fresh, although I wasn't sore either after the mile race yesterday, and I was only a little sore yesterday after the meet on Monday.
You sound like you had a great time at the track meet. Even though you did not get your miles you usually get. You got some speed work in. You will have to get a copy of the pic to put on the blog!
Bill, that's right - I'm having a great time racing on the track! It's been 20 years since I had done it. Even though my times are horribly slow, the effort is still there, and I feel great running fast. It's totally different than roads. I have a lot of associations with track from my younger years, I just love it. In US, I didn't have opportunities for track, but here in the summer, there are lots of meets. The weather helps too.
Regarding pictures, the guy who has them, doesn't know how to upload them online! Geez, isn't this 2007? He posted to the club's mailing list: "Unfortunately being a bit crap with computers i have no
idea how to put them on one of those internet link things so if anybody out
there fancies doing it i will be at Battersea tonight and the handicap on
Saturday and can pass on the photo disc to them." Haha, so I'm at the mercy of whoever picks it up, since I'm going away for the weekend and can't take it from him!
