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.

Wow, it's been quite a while since I ran. Felt good to run tonight and I ran 5 miles in 40:28 in the neighborhood across the street. Afterwards, took Pepper, the birthday boy, out for a nice brisk 1.5 mile walk. Also hit the gym up at lunch today and did shoulders and legs. I'd imagine that they will be pretty darn sore tomorrow. Nothing like coming back for a nice run after you've dropped off the map for a while. Don't worry fellow bloggers, it won't happen again. On another note, I accepted a new job with a consulting firm, Booz Allen Hamilton, and will probably start after the first of the new year. I have three more weeks at my current job then I have the rest of the year off. Looks like I'm stuck in the DC area for a wee bit longer. Oh, and I'm moving into a house with some friends in two weeks. Wow....talk about change. Happy running bloggers!

WOWOWOWOW! That is huge news fastboy! Congratulations, BAH is a solid place to work (and they have fast runners too, their team beat us to the first place in an 8k we did last year).

Sorry I wasn't up for hiking this weekend - it was raining and my shin and mouth were hurting. Let's go out on the trails soon though, and celebrate your new job, my braceless mouth, and Pepper's birthday! No wonder I liked him so much, he's a fellow Sagittarian!
