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.

Decided to give it a go after taking 10 days off to ease the pain in my shin. Quite warm tonight...low 70s and sunny. My shin felt good through the entire run and the walk with Pepper afterward. Finished 5 miles in 41:20. Nice and easy to get back to work. Felt a little sluggish, but overall, it is nice to get back out on the street.

Decided to test the shin after a nice workout at the gym. Took off on the treadmill and ended up running 2 miles in 16 minutes. I probably could have gone further, but wanted to take it easy on the first time back in a week. I ended up doing another 15 minutes on the bike to just keep the cardio going. Overall, my legs felt pretty darn good afterward, although I still somewhat skeptical due to my shins past.

Because the legs felt good today, I felt that I could take it up another notch. Ran 4 miles over up and down terrain in 31:20 and felt really good running. My calves are a little tight afterward, but that can be attributed to my taking it easy over the past few weeks. Overall, a good run to get back into the swing of things. Let's just hope that I feel this good tomorrow.

Continuing the ongoing ramp up to decent runnining distances. Felt as though I could do 5 miles tonight without worrying about the shin. Overall, my legs were really tired because I did deadlifts at the gym yesterday. Pace was really slow, but I just wanted to get out and run for over 40 minutes. Ended up doing 5 miles in 44:02. Slow...yes, but not all that bad. On another note, I'm back up to 275lbs on the deadlift...not bad, but certainly not what I used to do.

Ran with Emily and Pepper for 1 mile and ended up finishing it in 13:10. After that, they decided to take a walk and I ran for 4.5 miles and finished in 34:55. Still coming back from the shin problem, but it feels good so far in the ramp-up process.

Ran with Emily again and we ran and walked for 1.75 miles together in 20:03. She has work to do, but it's going to get better. Once we finished our run, I ended up running another 3.25 miles in 25:14. For some reason, it feels like I can't get my breathing right. My theory is that the pollen in the air = worse allergies for Aaron. As per the norm, I'll get over it.

| Took a nice 5.5 mile hike over rough terrain along the Potomac with Pepper in about 2 hours. Didn't want to keep going up to 10 miles as he was really panting and I didn't want him to overheat. Temps were in the high 70s and quite humid. Overall, great day to spend with the boy. | | Add Comment |

Decided to run 4 miles on the treadmill after working out at the gym. Finished in 38:17, which sounds really bad but wasn't all that bad. Oh well...continue to march.

Finally got out for a run....and it's freakin Thursday! Decided to continue to take it easy and did a 4 mile run in 31:00. Picked it up in the middle of the run for 6 minutes and it was didn't feel bad at all. Felt pretty good, although it's really hot (80 degrees) and humid. Oh well, everything seems better and I should have no problem running the Potomac River Half Marathon on May 4th.

Ran 4 miles today, although this entry is quite late. Finished in 32:07...just off the 8 minute pace I wanted. Just wanted to make sure I didn't have any injuries heading into the 1/2 Marathon on Saturday.
