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.

Nice easy run to start working back into the higher levels. Temps were in the high 30's/sunny at the start and progressed into the high 40's/sunny at the end of the run. Started out at a fast pace of about 6:30/mile, ended up slowing down as the run progressed in the middle, then speeding up at the last few miles. This was probably because Arlington County decided to turn off the water at the fountains, without consulting with me, so I didn't have water until the last 1.5 miles. Ended up finishing the run in 1:23.57, which is a decent start.

Hey, 'bout time you made it to the blog. You got more miles in that me today!

What are you running 6:30s for on an easy run???

Yeah...not nearly as many as you put in this week. I always start out fast. I should probably get a HR monitor to actually figure out how well I'm doing.

We got a new running store in the area and they did a foot profile on me...actually took an impression of my feet, looked at my gait, and figured out that my shoes were a little too rigid. New shoes today...
