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.

Out with Pepper for 3 miles after work. At dinner then headed over to the gym for 1.25 hours biceps and triceps. Needless to say....I can barely lift my arms but they feel pretty good overall. Got new shoes today....I'm back to Asics....yeah, no more Brooks Infiinitis. The Asics are the first kind I ever bought and they somehow have pressure on all the right spots of my feet. I will be treating myself to a nice 8-10 mile run tomorrow to start breaking them in.

On another completely unrelated point, I had another job interview for a position with the Denver Public Schools as their Emergency Response and Crisis Management Coordinator today. It seemed to go well, and if I don't get the FEMA job, I'll probably take this one. Next step, if I make it, is an in-person interview out in Denver, which would happen in the next two weeks. I'm trying my darndest to get out to Colorado, especially in time for ski season, so lets hope for the best. Also....I would love to run it altitude again, oh, and bike, ski, hike, camp...I think you get it.

Did you really do 1.25 hours of working on your arms? Geez Luiz Aaron, what are you trying to prove there? :)

Great news on the interview, sounds like an excellent opportunity! We are two weekends away from MCM, are you ready???

Yes, I did Lucia. I take lots of breaks to give them rest between sets and my various exercises. I suppose it does sound a little extreme, doesn't it?

Two weekends away? Which MCM are you looking at? The one I'm running is on October 26th...that's 31 days away! It better not be in two weeks!!!!! :0
