Long-Term Running Goals: 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. |

| Portugal Day 5K. As I expected, it wasn't a good race for me. 22:20, no splits since there were no mile markers. The time doesn't surprise me given lack of training this week, but I feel like I wasted a great chance to run a fast time - the course is flat and fast and the weather was almost perfect, upper 50s and sunny, only a bit too windy. I was okay for 2 miles (I think they were around 7:05), and then died on the third mile into the headwind. I had no one to run with in the end, everyone I targeted ahead I eventually passed, and then there was only a group of runners more than a hundred yards away, couldn't catch them. It seems like I can only keep it together for 2 miles, either 1 and 3, or 1 and 2. | | Comments(2) |

| The idea was to run 50 min. at marathon pace (7:55 - 8:05). Didn't happen today - 5.9mi in 50:02 - slower than marathon pace (8:28), due to bad GI cramps. Not sure what caused them today, maybe the peanut butter sandwich I had for lunch. Total run time 1:13:39. At least I got out there and put the miles in. | | Comments(1) |

| First run at 7000 ft. Buffalo Park, Flagstaff. 2mi flat loop on a wide gravel trail. My hear was racing like crazy first half a mile, then it got a bit better. I didn't expect I would feel altitude that much! Total time 36:45. It's also very dry up here, I keep drinking water all the time and I'm still thirsty. Great fun running with people, and scenery is awesome. | | Add Comment |

| Sedona Park, 5000 ft. A beautiful red clay trail. Time was 44:45. Felt a bit better than yesterday, but still it was a tough run. Very rocky, and hilly at times. Saw rattle snake right in the middle of the trail! I took water with me and was glad I did. I almost finished the entire bottle. Tomorrow is 5K race at 8000 ft, that goes up 350 ft in the first 1.5 miles. It's called Gaspin' in the Aspen - a telling name! | | Add Comment |

| Gaspin' in the Aspen 5K trail race. Elevation 8000ft +. Completely new experience for me - forget about time, just try not to sprain your ankles or fall! Spectacular scenery with very poor footing at times, course is in Flagstaff Nordic Center, on x-country skiing trails. Second mile had a brutal, very prolonged climb. I walked a bit on it, because it was counter productive to try running up. Last mile, I recovered enough to pick it up and I actually finished with Greg, Jonas (my coach) and another guy from our group. Time was around 33min. Turned out I got 3rd in F30-39, and many of our runners placed as well. Later we went hiking in the Grand Canyon. I was really beat by evening. | | Add Comment |
