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.

Got lots of sleep last night and hit the streets after lunch at work. Ran a nice 1.5 mile warmup to the track at Washington & Lee High School in 11:21. I then ran 100 meter sprints w/ 100 meters jog in between for 1.5 miles in 9:39. Finally, did a nice 3 mile cooldown run in 23:05 back to the office. Total mileage: 6 miles in 44:05. Good running today but I need to get some new shoes. My calves have hurt each time out at about mile 5 and today was no difference. Well...more money spent. At least it's for a good cause.

Jeeesh Aaron, you are a workout machine! I hope Pepper is doing better. New shoes are not an expense: they're an investment!

Glad to hear you're well buddy, keep up the good work, not much longer till MCM!
