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.

Felt pretty good, even my blister didn't bother me that much. Legs tired last 2 miles.

8x160m uphill bounding (53-55 sec). I switched to Johnson Ave. hill, which is less steep than Summit. Still very hard workout, especially next day after the long run.

14x30-35sec. moderate hill springing. Bounding is still harder for me. Maybe I need to find steeper hill for springing...

Last 10 min. should have been at half marathon pace. I did 1.2mi in 8:59 (7:29 pace). A bit too fast, but there are 2 downhills on that stretch, so effort was ok, regardless of time.

Got my long run in before the predicted storm. Felt good and ran a lot faster than last week. Got tired at the end, but still was able to maintain the same pace and even picked up a bit.
