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.

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.
