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.

This was 20K, not half marathon (no entry for 20K in this log). I felt great and had a very good race, my winter training definitely paid off. Mile markers were all screwed up, so they were useless, I ran by feel. First 5K was 24:51, 10K was 49:10. That makes last 10K 46:24. This is a new PR by a minute. My last PR was set on the same course in 1998! It's nice to know that even though I'm 8 years older, I can still set PRs.

I took it really easy today. Quads almost not sore anymore.

I'm really enjoying warmer weather with no wind! Mid 40s feels warm now.

6mi. easy, then 5.7mi in 45:56, 8:03 pace. At about 10 miles in, I felt my right achilles, it started hurting for no reason. It's going to be very frustrating if it ends up being a problem.

My right achilles is definitely acting up :(. I iced it and am doing strengthening exercises, but I worry it might take a while for it to heal. Ran extremely easy today, and only 3 miles, but it still hurt.

my leg was fine all day today, so I decided to try running. I was ok for 3 miles and then the pain set in, so I stopped immediately. Going to the doc. on Friday. But it doesn't hurt at all walking or going down the stairs, or in the morning, so I'm wondering if it's achilles after all.
