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. |

Ridiculous wind today, which made running not very enjoyable. Couldn't get into a rhythm. Did 12x0:30 seconds strides during the run. Still felt some residual fatigue from Saturday's long run. Total time: 58:45 (8:46 pace).
Uploaded the course for my upcoming half marathon next Sunday. Looks a lot hillier than what I read about it. | | Add Comment |

| A very warm day, 54F and sunny! My legs, however, felt sluggish, and I felt slow. Not sure, maybe I'm still recovering from Saturday. Garmin measured 0.4mi. less than usual, must have been in and out again. Time 44:09 (8:49 pace). | | Add Comment |

| Felt better today, finally had some spring in my step. Beautiful day out, around 50F and partly cloudy. However, my Garmin was cutting in and out again, despite clear blue skies. I'm beginning to think something is wrong with it, it hasn't been accurate for at least a week. It's about a year old, so maybe it's time for it to break - right when the warranty expires, of course! Total time: 53:19 (8:35 pace). | | Add Comment |

Today I did continious tempo of 4 miles. The plan was to run 7:48 to 7:28 pace. I ran 1.7mi. warmup and sped up to what felt like a good pace. In a few minutes I looked at Garmin - 7:25 pace! But it felt just right, so I kept the same effort. I figured if it's too fast, I will slow down naturally. But I kept feeling good, and the pace stayed around 7:25-7:27. Only in the last 0.5 mile I felt like maybe I was starting to work too hard, but it was too close to the finish to let it slide. Then jogged home 1.4 miles. Total time 58:02 with 4mi. in 29:45 (7:26 pace). For comparison, my 4 mile PR is 29:01 (from 1998).
I am sure this is the fastest tempo run in the last 1.5 years, and possibly my fastest ever. I'm very happy with this workout, but I worry a little if I maybe overdid it before half marathon on Sunday. I hope not, I'll run very easy tomorrow and on Saturday. | | Comments(1) |

| very easy recovery run in 48:46 (8:50 pace). Felt fine, but tried to run as easy as possible. If I do anything tomorrow, it'll be a very short run and some strides. | | Comments(1) |
