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. |

Legs were very tight and stiff after yesterday. Also, I'm going on 6 hours of sleep for like 7 days in a row, and it's not enough for me. I had to get up at 6 AM today to go to the airport to meet relatives coming from Moscow, so that didnt' help. Really didn't feel like going out to run, especially given the rain most of the day. But did manage to kick myself out the door, and just put the miles in. Tired and waiting for the run to end. One more week of relatives left...
Total time: 51:48 (9:05 pace), including 4x100m strides. | | Add Comment |

| Felt better than yesterday, but still not a great run. Adductors still a little sore from Saturday. I took it easy and was fine once I warmed up, but freezing the first 2 miles. It's 48F and damp, and it's May.While we had 68F back in April. London weather can be truly bizzarre. Total time: 45:29 (8:55 pace). | | Add Comment |

Ran CV repeats today, 4x1000m with 1min. jog recovery. Of course, my Garmin ran out of battery so I had to take regular watch. Because my track is 387m long, I cannot be sure I ran exactly 1000m, but at least I ran the same distance every repeat and could compare times. The effort felt right, hard, but manageable. Splits were 4:28, 4:31, 4:30 and 4:25. Did 4x200m strides before repeats. I felt pretty decent overall and am glad I got this workout in. I had to bail out early from work's event (when drinks and dinner were about to start), but I'm glad I did.
I'll miss tomorrow and Thursday due to going to 2 evening shows in a row with my Moscow relatives. This is a busy week. | | Comments(1) |

Just an easy run with 4x100m strides at the end. Felt tired despite 2 days off. Entertaining relatives took some toll. The shows were great (we saw "Phantom of the Opera" and "Stomp"), but I desperately need more sleep! Less than 6 hours a night is not cutting it.
Total time: 56:16 (9:04 pace). On strides, felt really good. | | Add Comment |

Did the "Segments" run again, same as last Saturday. My pacing was better than last week, but it didn't feel any easier. Maybe because it was only 17 hours after my run last night.
I ran 3x5km with 3min. walk/jog recovery. The goal was to stay at 8:30 pace for the segments. I ran 26:14 (8:28 pace), 26:08 (8:25 pace) and 26:14 (8:27 pace). I was very tired at the end, not because of pace, but because of duration. I had to focus to keep under 8:30, as my body really wanted to slow down and run more comfortably. I didn't drink anything until after the last 5K, and it didn't help - it was rather warm and I felt dehydrated. Next time I'll carry some water. Did 4x100m strides at the end, and then jogged home very slowly. Legs felt dead.
