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. |

Decided to go a little longer today. Garmin was late picking up the signal, and HRM was out of sorts as well, showing range from 85 to 140. So bad day in technology department today!
I turned around after 9:30 thinking it must be about a mile, and finished in 19:20. Tried to map the distance on gmap-pedometer,com, but couldn't pinpoint the location I turned around exactly. It was in the middle of London Business School building, but there are no intersections there. Got approximately 1.9 miles - close enough. My adductors are very sore after my first 12 min. run - haha, that's how little I need these days! But at least it wasn't crazy windy like yesterday. Still cold though - 4C, wind chill 0C. Where is the spring??
Total time: 19:20 (10:10 pace) - approximate. | | Comments(3) |

Maybe it was a bit much, but I went 3 miles today. My lungs hurt whenever I sped up (usually due to slight downhill), so I had to back off the pace even more, as if I wasn't going as a turtle already. I made it, but I don't think I will increase the distance anymore until some weeks later. My heart took half an hour to get back to normal after I finished and I'm still a little short of breath. I didn't wear HRM because I wouldn't be able to see my HR in the dark anyway. I think I got a little carried away, so happy that I can run again.
The weather is still cold - there was even wet snow yesterday! I coudln't believe it, it's so rare to get snow in London, let alone at the end of March. Today I ran wearing wind breaker and gloves. But the forecast has steady warming this week, and 1 April is supposed to be 16C (~65F). Of course, it's 1 April, so not putting too much faith into this forecast.

It took me couple of days to recover from my last run, as I definitely overdid it, both in terms of pace and distance. Didn't feel great last 2 days (some chest pain). So today I made sure to go super slow and shorter. Felt okay, but I now strongly suspect my HRM is garbage - it was showing 186 at one point, and 111 at another. All the while I ran even pace, although I instinctively slowed down even more after seeing that 186. I think I'll just leave it at home from now on, and run by feel. I don't want to get scared seeing heart rate in 180s or even higher. I certainly don't need the additional stress. The weather got a little warmer, but today there is crazy wind, so back to the windbreaker I went!
