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 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.
