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.

It was humid today and I didn't take it into account. Started too fast again on the faster portion and had to slow down last 2 miles. Total time 1:07:00, middle 5mi in 39:13 (7:50 pace).

Easy run in Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens. I did 2 loops and then added on on paths in Hyde Park to make sure I get 10 in. I felt pretty good, although it was another humid day. Tonight the skies are supposed to open up and it should rain (heavily!) all day tomorrow. I'll have to see if I can sneak out for a run. Time today was 1:26:48 (8:38 pace). My left quad was bothering me a little today, it's been on and off for the last month. It's strange as all my injuries are usually on my right side, left leg is my "good" leg. I'm not too worried though because it's right in the middle of the quad so not a ligament issue, probably just a mild strain.

I'm back filling on 09/18. Unfortunately, last week and beginning of this week has been very inconsistent due to our move to the new apartment and various appointements that didn't leave more than 2 hour windows. I wasn't super efficient and found myself skipping runs as other things took priority. Really not happy about missing long run.

Total time 59:02, middle 4 mi. in 30:33 (7:39 pace). This was a good steady paced run, but it came after 2 days of rest, so no real accomplishment. Afterwards did 4x100m strides.
