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.

Cool evenning for a change! I actually felt the breeze. Easy run on my regular route - 47:03 (9:02 pace).

Today I was hungry and thirsty on my run and it showed. Felt heavy and it was an effort to just pick up my legs. 56:38. Crazy day at work, 3 meetings, no time for afternoon snack or drink. Oh well, I got my miles in. Consistency is more important than anything else now. But I'll try to have a better fueling routine tomorrow.

Felt a lot better today. Made sure I drank at least 24 oz. before I left work (~3 hours before my run). Hydration is key in this hot and muggy weather, more important than food. Time was 1:03:18 (8:54 pace).

Felt great today despite sauna conditions. There was lightning and thunder all around me the entire run, but it never rained, for a change! Lucky me, I was fully expecting to get soaked, again. Time was 44:47 (8:36 pace). Probably a bit too fast for an easy run, but I felt good, so I went with the flow.

very hot and humid. It was 88F by the time I finished, in 1:50:36 (8:59 pace). 2 water stops, no carbs. I didn't care about time today, just tried to find shade by weaving from one side of the road to another if it looked like I could get more shade on the other side.
