Rebuild my fitness after a bout of PE (pulmonary embolism). Get my weekly mileage in the 35-40 range.
Long-Term Running Goals:
My ultimate goal in running is to come as close to my potential as possible given complete lack of talent. It would be fantastic to break 3hrs in the marathon, but I don't know whether this is possible. My age is going to become a factor very soon, if not already. All I can do is try, train hard and smart, and hope for the best.
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 14 year old daughter. I have moved to London in August '06, will probably stay here for a few years.
Nothing exciting. Weather is nice, low 50s. Lots of runners out, I almost bumped into a few, considering how the path is unlit at night.
Total time: 40:27 (9:24 pace).
