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 loop around Regents Park. I'm fighting some bug, scratchy throat and dry cough. Didn't feel too great. There are tons of leaves on the sidewalk, and in the dark it means I can't see at all, what's under them. Oh well, eventually they will be cleared by the Royal Parks service.

Total time: 38:50 (9:01 pace)

Rainy and very windy tonight. I ran 2 loops of Regents Park. I was wondering how much I slowed compared to month ago. Turns out, about 2.5 minutes. Lots of leaves on the ground, I thought it would be slippery, but it was okay. I ran easy and didn't look at the watch. Hopefully I can get up to 30 miles this week.

Total time: 1:03:54 (9:00 pace)

Did the longest run since a month ago. It wasn't pleasant and I got pretty winded, but I got it done. I downloaded upgrades to Garmin software and GPS chip and my Garmin picked up the signal after about 6 minutes, after not doing it for the last 2 months. So it looks promising. I don't need it for easy runs, but it is helpful for fartleks and tempo runs to be able to see the pace I'm running. I did 3 loops of the park, and second and third were 9:15 average, meaning I started too fast and had to slow down later.

Total time: 1:29:06 (9:05 pace)
