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 from my house to the WOD trail and went towards Arlington. Pace during the entire run was good. Finished 10 miles in 1:20:00. Nice 8 minute mile pace for the entire run. The best part was coming back when  nice thunderstorm rolled through the area and I was cooled by a wonderful rain. I'm always a little nervous running under the high tension power lines on the trail during a storm, but oh well. The rain felt great. In the first couple of miles, I felt that my right ankle was a little wierd...not sure what it was. I had tendinitis last year in that ankle, so I want to make sure I'm not heading down that painful road again. Well...off to bed so I can wake up for work in the morning. Running continues to be my ultimate stress reliever.
