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.

Took a nice trip out to Shenandoah National Park and hiked Little Devil Stairs with fellow blogger Lucia and my pup, Pepper. It was a beautiful day outside and the hike was fantastic. The first 1.8 miles were quite strenuous and steep, included an incident/run-in with some overly aggressive bees, but we all survived. By the time the day was over, Pepper was/had pooped, Lucia was stung twice by bees, and I was happy to just be out there. Great hike, company, and overall day out in the woods. Thanks for driving Lucia! Pepper enjoyed meeting you and contrary to my predictions, got enough sleep in the car ride back. He was crazy for the rest of the day and wouldn't let me relax at all.

Thank you for your company, and for sharing your Pepper with me for a few hours! I had a feeling that the hike wasn't enough to exhaust him for the rest of the day. He's one energized pup! Have a great week and think about that 1/2 on Sunday! It'll be good to test your speed, and fun!
