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.

As expected, I was horribly sore and hobbled around for 7 miles. Took it easy, but noticed that right achilles bothered me sometimes. I first noticed it yesterday at the meet, after 200m. Hopefully, it's nothing serious, but with achilles you always have to be on guard. I'll see how it is tomorrow.

Total time: 1:04:34 (9:05 pace).

Ran an easy 5 before lung function tests tomorrow morning. My achilles was fine,although I felt it slightly around mile 2.5, but the discomfort went away in a couple of minutes. I was told not to do any strenuous exercise, so I figured 5 miles easy should be okay. Hopefully the tests will show that my lungs are fully recovered now. I'm seeing pulmonologist immediately after tests.

Total time: 45:04 (9:01 pace).
