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.

Sick, sick, sick... I couldn't sleep last night, couldn't breathe and kept waking up every half hour. Woke up already tired. Then spent all day at work sneezing and struggling to talk on the phone. As luck would have it, I was the only one on site today and had to deal with a broken web proxy on a remote connection that my German colleague was trying to use. After an hour of trouble shooting I gave up and did a Webex with him, giving him remote control of my desktop (because the server was up just fine on internal network).  Now, in the evening, I still can't breathe through my nose, and can only imagine the fun night ahead. I can't even take any medication for the cold, not even zinc, because everything can affect my INR. I have to even watch my diet.

Ok, I think I complained enough. Hopefully tomorrow will be better or at least not worse.
