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.

The weather was fantastic today, a perfect shorts and t-shirt day, 15C. But I felt heavy and fat - just the way I actually am right now - and slogged through my 6 miles without much enjoyment.

Total time: 56:24 (9:24 pace).

Where are you?

I am still here. I am running, just haven't been blogging here. There is really nothing worth mentioning about my runs, just putting in the miles.

If you've run, it is always worth mentioning!

Hi Brent!

So glad to hear from you!! How are you?? I'm still in London and running. I got into London marathon this year, but got injured a month ago during half marathon, which I did as a training run. I had to take 3 weeks off to heal, and now my leg is fine, but the time for training has been lost. I will probably transfer my place to next year. Are you on Facebook? You can find me there (Maria Imas) - it's a good way to keep in touch!

Maria.

Fast Running Blog is better :-) With only one very part time and artistically challenged programmer the interface does not match Facebook, but it is functional, and the crowd consists of runners. Plus you can see the workouts in an organized manner.
