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.

Ok, so it's been a while since I ran; to be exact, it's been two whole weeks. Enough playing around and being lazy. Weather out here in the DC area is starting to turn cold and we're actaully expecting snow showers tonight. Temps were probably in the mid-upper 30s so I actually had to wear some cold-weather clothes. Wow...I seem to remember it hitting 70is over the weekend! Went for a nice 4 miles run w/out the pooch and finished in 31:12. To be honest, I didn't feel like I loosened up until about mile 3.5 but I didn't want to go further since I hadn't run in a while. Afterwards, took Pepper for a nice 1.5 mile cooldown walk. It was nice...very nice. Oh...interviewed for a new job today, primarily to work in downtown DC and McLean, VA. Good job, pay, people, but ultimately not where I want to live. Oh...Pepper is nuts tonight, simply nuts. One more thing......they are discontinuing my shoes...uh...what do I do now????

Isn't Pepper always nuts, just like you? :)

You should buy 10 pairs of shoes online. Or figure out if they made a new shoe that's similar/better than the one you like... Or, run barefoot!

Come work in downtown DC so we can run togedaaaaaaa!

True, that is why we are such a perfect pair! :) I may buy a few pairs and hope for the best in the future. 10 pairs can be a little on the pricey side, although barefoot is not too shabby an idea either.

Downtown....closer to where I don't want to be. Bah!! I MUST MOVE WEST!

Ohhhhh but misery loves company! hehehe... I'm just kidding - I really hope you can go west. I've decided to stay and finish my masters... then I'll join you and Pepper out there!
