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.

Finally got out and did 7.1mi in 1:01:09 (8:36 pace).

Watched ChasingKimbia live updates from Chicago - looks like a crazy finish in both men and women's races. And then the marathon was called off due to the heat - same story as in my marathon in Rotterdam. I actually think it was a very wise move on organizer's' part, because they were running out of water, and the ambulances couldn't cope. Let's not forget there were 40,000 runners out there. Rotterdam had only 15,000 and still it was cancelled. It's extremely disappointing for the runners, but better safe than sorry, it's not possible to hit your goals in 87F anyway!

Finally got out again! I decided to run less miles, but try to run every day this week. We'll see if it works. After my Sunday run I had pretty sore abductors so I'm trying to avoid it now. I felt fine, but definitely slower than in recent weeks. My aerobic conditioning finally went out the window.

Total time: 37:54 (9:01 pace).
