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. |

Had a decent run today. The weather is ridiculously cold today, and on Sunday we had heavy snow!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I got up and looked outside - there was at least half an inch layer of snow on the trees and cars. It's gotten marginally warmer since then, but still in the single digits (Celsius, of course). I didn't wear gloves today, and my hands froze. Oh well, one of these days there will be spring.

Had a choice today: go see movie "Endurance" about Haile G. and listen to some superfast Africans discuss Ethiopian running, or go for a run. I debated and changed my mind several times, and in the end decided to go running. I missed 2 days already, the weather was great (after some torrential rain and hail earlier in the day). Now I'm really glad I went, because I feel good after the run, and I feel good about getting out! NowI can sit back and watch "American Idol Gives Back" and results of the last round (they run here 2 days after US, or maybe a week after, not sure).
I ran the same pace as before, but was able to kick in a little at the end, and more importantly, I recovered much quicker than before. Only a week ago it took me 15 min. to get back to normal heart rate, and today it was maybe 5 min., pretty much normal. Still have some chest pain, but it doesn't seem to get worse while running.

| Rather eventful run today. As soon as I started it began drizzling and about a mile into my run, it started pouring heavily, and with hail, too. Horizontal rain, ridiculous wind, the whole nine yards. It lasted only 10-15 min, but I was totally soaked and it made the run less than enjoyable after that. I ran a pretty good pace, compared to my recent runs, probably because I unconciously tried to get out of the rain sooner. But my lungs hurt for a few hours afterwards. I don't know why 3 miles is okay for me, but 4 miles is too much. Maybe it was the pace, or maybe it's because yesterday and today were my first back to back runs since I started building back. But conditions are looking good for London marathon. I'm thinking of going out to watch it! Temperature is perfect for the race, about 48-50F, only if rain stays away. Total time: 36:29 (9:07 pace). | | Add Comment |
