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. |

Finally, the spring is here! Beautiful weather today, warm, dry and no wind. I left my HRM at home, and just enjoyed the run. Went a little further than the other day, felt okay, no chest pain. Pace was faster than before, probably due to no HRM to scare me :).
Total time: 21:42 (9:26 pace).
My daughter surprised me yesterday by doing this work in her art class:

I might have gotten carried away again today - the weather is still nice and warm, and I had tail wind on the way out. When I turned around though, I kind of had second thoughts. Ended up going just under 3 miles. I hope I feel okay tomorrow.

Today was a very good run. I felt marked improvement - my breathing was easier, I didn't get tired as much, and I even ran negative splits! Also, felt stronger and as if my running mechanics were better, probably due to slowly improving economy and my body remembering how to run. I wasn't faster than on Sunday, but felt a lot better.
Total time: 21:43 (9:26 pace).
I'm going to a screening of film "Endurance" next Friday - about Haile G. It's an older film, 1997, but I didn't see it before. Best of all, the screening will be followed by discussion on what makes Ethiopians so fast and whether Haile can win in Beijing - with some top runners who are here for the London marathon. Interestingly enough, the event is at the British Museum (not sure what it has to do with running). In any case, I booked myself a ticket! I'm wondering who will be there from the elite athletes. | | Add Comment |

My longest run so far in this comeback. I got tired, but made it okay. I slowed down a little after 2.5mi to make sure I don't push too hard. I can feel that I'm limited by my conditioning now, not my legs. But it is getting better, I just have to be patient.
Yesterday I learned about another interesting running event in London. Next Thursday, the Hanson brothers will be giving a talk in one of the running stores in central London. Some of their athletes will be with them and will be answering questions. There will also be some Brooks giveaways. I'll try to make it after work, but it's at least an hour's commute, so we'll see.
