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.

Ran 5 miles tonight around the neighborhood across the street. Total run time was 40:16 for an average of 8:03 miles. Exactly the pace I wanted to run. Weather is beautiful as it was in the upper 40s for once. I absolutely love the fall weather out here since it's much cooler and humidity is pretty much non-existent. One more run this week which will probably be a short one, probably on Friday, then I'm taking off Saturday. Carb load begins tomorrow for the ract on Sunday...mmmmmm....pasta. :-) Legs are still a little sore from the mad sodding incident. I figure they will be fine by Friday and completely good by Sunday morning...I hope.

Shout out to my buddy Lucia...glad to see you're ok and beginning the healing process. Looking good! I'll drop you a line to see if you want to meet up in your hood on Friday.

 Rest of the night will be spent watching my beloved Philadelphia Phillies beat the Rays in World Series Game 1. Go Phils!!!!!!!

Thanks for the message Aaron! I hope we get to meet up this afternoon - I know you really want to see my metal wires!

What's this about a mad sodding incident? Did I miss something?

Sorry about the Phillies last night... bummer! You're going to rule Sunday!!!
