Personal:

Pepper is my dog, thus my namesake. Used to run quite fast in the USMC (15:30 3 miles was my best) but stopped running when I got out. Now, it's much tougher and I generally cycle more than I run. However, I still compete in races because it's run and I can be a wee bit competitive.

Finally got my new shoes in the mail, just in time for the Marathon on Sunday. Plan is to put about 20 miles on them from running and then another few from walking. Out on a nice 4 mile run where for the first 3 miles I pushed it to 7 minute miles and then backed off to an 8 minute on mile 4. Total runtime was 29 minutes. Afterwards, took Pepper for a nice 1.5 miles of walking/trotting which was interrupted by multiple pee breaks and one longer break where he did other business. New shoes felt fantastic, just as I expected. I should have never moved away from Brooks. Legs were killing me today since I helped a friend sod at 3500 sq foot yard on Friday. Wow....talk about some muscles you don't use all that much.

Yah, I know those muscles.....they're the ones I used to bring down a dead tree, cut it into pieces, drag those out of the heavy brush where it fell, cut those piece into smaller pieces, then wield the mighty maul to split those piece into firewood, THEN cart them off and stack them neatly. THOSE muscles! Ouch!

Haha..yup, you've got it. Luckily, they are already starting to feel better and should all be great for Sunday, along with all my other ones.
