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.

easy run in 47:31 (9:08 pace). Still very hot and humid out, even at 9PM. It was 100F today. Good thing I only had to run 5 miles. I'm going to do couple of easy running weeks and then start another base buildup.

I felt great today despite the heat. I can't explain why. It was very hot and sticky evening, but my breathing was easy and I maintained a pretty good pace - 53:50 (8:40 pace).

it was much cooler tonight, only in the 70s, but I did't feel as good as last night. Maybe Jonas is right about hydration, although I don't remember drinking a lot yesterday. 46:34 (8:57 pace).

ran on my treadmill today due to thunderstorms, lightning and hail outside. Today was unbelievably humid, 93% humidity all day long. My basement has no a/c and wasn't much better. I did 5.6mi in 53:00 (9:27 pace) and then did 4x20 sec. strides at 9.3 mph (6:27 pace). I felt good except for humidity. Watched CNN while I ran, which only made me more worried. I have relatives near Tel Aviv and friends in Haifa. They are all okay so far, but I still worry. One of my relatives may be recalled by IDF now... I hope he'll be spared because he has two small children.

incredibly humid again today. I was trying to beat the weather, but it caught up to me in the last 25 min. of my run - pounding rain and wind. Total run time was 1:40:15 (8:38 pace). I felt good, except for the humidity. The air was thick and I had a feeling like I can't take a full breath.
