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 the office, down through Rosslyn and past Arlington Cemetary onto the DC Mall. Ran all the way past all the monuments, grabbing some water along the way at the various fountains, and continued up past the Capitol and down Pennsylvania Avenue. Ended up finishing up at Eastern Market where I promptly bought a gatorade, stretched, hopped the metro, and went back to work. I probably could have run back to the office, but I just didn't feel like it nor did I want to really push it today. It was getting a little warm and the water past the Mall is pretty much non-existent (unless I jump in the Potomac!). Finished my run at 6.3 miles in 49:13. Not too bad for a Tuesday afternoon when I really should be at work. Here's to looking forward to having Friday off and spending the day with Pepper!

Hey, that's almost exactly my route home from work! Are you sure it was only 6.3 miles? Seems to me it should be at least 7... Nice going Aaron!

I mapped out my run and it turned out to be about 6.3 miles...although I may have skimped on it a little. I wish it was 7 miles as I would have more under my belt for the week! :)
