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.

Another cold, but at least not rainy, day! This is the second day in a row I was wearing long sleeve shirt on my run, and I was just fine in it, not hot. It's pretty crazy when I think of my runs last summer in heat and humidity of NJ! It's a bit too chilly for my liking, but I'll take it over 100F any time - it's good running weather save the rain. Just went for an easy 6 miler to keep some semblance of volume this week.

Total time: 53:41 (8:47 pace)
