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.

Did first up-tempo run in more than a month. It wasn't pretty, but better than it could have been. I warmed up for 15 min. and then ran 30 min. at moderately hard effort. Garmin was working, but I only looked at it occasionally and ran by effort. My pace started at 8:30 which was pathetic, but then it started coming down without extra effort from me. I ended up with 8:17 average by the end, which is about right for my current level. Ran easy 1.7 mi. to cool down.

Total time: 1:00:55 (8:34 pace avg.)

Easy 7 with 10x100m strides. It was cold! Wore tights, long sleeve, jacket, gloves and fleece headband - the most I wore on the run this fall! Still, with all this clothing, didn't break a sweat until 3 miles. At least it was calm and dry, and I'm thankful for that. But the temps are only few degrees above freezing, it's pretty cold for London. And we are going toBudapest for the weekend which is even colder.

Total time: 1:03:22 (8:55 pace).
