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.

Good to finally get back out for a run. Rough week at work as we have another proposal due and I am the capture manager. Temp in the 50s, really windy with gusts up to 50 mph. Started out fine for the first two miles, cruised in the middle two miles, then the last two was slow going as it was all into the strond headwind. Gusts were so strong that they actually took my breath away a few times. Ended up doing 6 miles in 51:35. Took Pepper out for a 1 mile stroll after the run. He is now holding down the La-Z-Boy and watching lost. Gonna try and get out of work a little early tomorrow so I can do a little longer run.

I hate it when work interferes with running! Especially since work will *always* be there but a run missed is a run missed. Maybe running over your lunch hour and coming back stinky would persuade your bosses to make sure you get out on time :)
