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. |

| easy recovery in 38:45 (9:13 pace). Already hot and humid at 10AM. All next week is supposed to be upper 90s-100s. I REALLY have to shift my runs to early mornings, because I need to start pushing the pace a little on some runs, and it's just going to be so miserable out there in evenings. | | Comments(1) |

| Still very hot at 9PM (morning run didn't materialize due to going to bed at 1:30AM). Felt a little sluggish. Total time was 55:14 with middle 2.9mi in 23:31 (8:06 pace). That's right about my marathon pace now, so I'm pretty happy with it, especially considering the heat. | | Add Comment |

| One of the less enjoyable runs - had to go on the treadmill in my muggy basement. Still better than outside where heat index is up to 110F and unbearable no matter what time of day. I put fan next to the treadmill, but it was too weak, I could barely feel it. I took it easy, 1:17:10 (9:38 pace). | | Add Comment |

| The heat wave finally abated, but at the price of severe thunderstorms. I ran on the treadmill again, but hopefully tomorrow I can venture outside after the cold front passes overnight. I was sweating buckets again in my stuffy basement, and my HRM was playing games with me - it was showing steady 164-170, while I ran only 9:40 pace for most of the run. Only at the very end it showed 143 which I think was the only correct reading. 5 miles, 48 minutes. | | Comments(1) |

| A lot cooler tonight, although it was still 80F. But it felt cool after the last 3 days. More importantly, it was not as humid, dew point "only" 66. I felt slow on the warmup, and was disappointed that I can't run faster in cooler weather, but when I sped up to my "booster pace" (supposed to be ~1 min. slower than 5K race pace), I could finally see the difference on my watch. My perceived effort was the same as Monday, and I ran the same exact course, but my time for 2.9mi was 22:27 today (7:44 pace) vs. 23:31 on Monday (8:06 pace). That is quite a difference! I found this very useful article today through letsrun.com by Tinman: Summer Running
Did 4x100m strides after - 24:01, 19.7, 19.2, 18.7. On the first stride just as I was accelerating, a motorcycle appeared in my way blinding me with his headlight, so I decided to slow down and stay safe, that's why such a slow time. | | Add Comment |

| Long and very hot run. I had to run at noon, because before that I had to clean up the house for a showing at 12:30PM, and then we had our London send-off party with friends, so running was out of the question at night. It was dry, but very hot in direct sun. I struggled in the last 4 miles, made 3 water stops, but they only helped a little. Time was 1:48:00 (9:18 pace). Also, my quads were sore, and I wondered why - until I remembered that I did strides yesterday, and I haven't done strides in 3 weeks, so that's likely what caused soreness. | | Comments(3) |
