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. |

did my usual 6 mile route. Felt out of sorts, lots of little aches and pains - my typical state when I'm running as sporadically as I have been recently. At least the weather is nice, 60s and a little breeze.

Only got out at 8:30PM so the park was closing in the dark. Ran 2 outer loops, second one in almost complete darkness. I'm amazed that Westminster council doesn't put more street lights on the sidewalk around Regents Park. One time I almost collided with another runner, because I was on my tempo portion of the run and we didn't see each other till the last second. And it didn't help that both of us were wearing black t-shirts.
Felt much better today than yesterday, ran easy for about 5 mi, then ran 10min. at half-marathon effort (1.3mi, 7:44 pace). After that, jogged home 1.4mi.

Threshold run today. Did 2.4mi warmup, then went straight into the tempo. The goal was to average 7:40-7:42 pace, considering that my true threshold is about 7:31 and making adjustment for the duration of the tempo (per Daniels). Decided to take splits every mile rather than just look at average pace over the entire segment. Interesting results:
mile 1 - 7:48 - felt bad, no rhythm, also had some subtle uphill
mile 2 - 7:30 - the easiest mile of the whole tempo, also with some subtle downhill. Felt great and in good rhythm.
mile 3 - 7:40 - not so easy anymore, caught some of the same uphill as on mile 1. Started to struggle towards the end.
mile 3.5 - 3:46 (7:36 pace) - struggling, but hanging in there, and some of the downhill from mile 2 helped.
Afterwards, legs were dead, and I shuffled home 1.2 mi. at about 9:45 pace. Overall, though, it was a good workout. I feel pretty tired now, but it's no wonder - I ran more miles in 3 days than the whole of last week!

I was pretty tired today. Probably should have taken a day off, but I wanted to keep my mileage somewhat decent this week, so I went out. My legs were dead, and I just trudged along at whatever pace my body felt like. Ran portions of the run on grass, and it felt nicer than the road, for a change.
Total time: 55:42 (9:10 pace).

Tough run today. My legs were still tired from all the running I did this week, and I also had GI troubles. After mile 4, I made a detour inside the park and checked 2 different restrooms, and both were locked! Arrgghh!! How can they not keep at least one opened when it is still daylight, the weather is nice, and there are literally hundreds of people in the park?
Anyway, nothing else to do, but continue on. I am known for having run more than one marathon needing a bathroom the entire time (not that I enjoy it!). Then, at about 8 miles, I got really hungry, so I just couldn't wait to get home. I planned to do 13 mi. originally, but decided to cut it a bit short seeing how crappy I was feeling. Pace was slow, but I didn't care, and I think overall I got decent time on my feet. When I finally got home and took my shoes off, I was surprised to see one of my socks covered in blood - apparently, I managed to get a blister that burst. I did feel something in that foot, but with all the other uncomfortable things going on, didn't pay much attention. But these things always look worse than they really are. So, it was just one of those adventuruos runs, and not in a good sense.
