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.

Back in the DC area after a some great time in Colorado for work and time with friends. I've decided that I'm going to move there sooner rather than later...yes...I absolutely loved it there and can totally see myself living there. Took Pepper for a run tonight after dinner and we ran 2 miles in 16:30. Dropped the pup off at the house, got a couple swigs of water, then took off on another 4 miles and finished that in 29:36. Yes, I was hauling my rear and went up the huge hill at the last mile. Legs felt great after a long weekend of climbing, running, hiking and biking in the mountains. After the run, I took Pep on another 1.5 miles worth of cool-down for a total of 7.5 for the evening. My legs really feel great after tonight and my running was completely effortless. Lets hope they stay that way. Still no word on the job, but I'm still optimistic that I'll get it and be able to move out there. I should have Friday off this week, although that may change per the norm. The plan is to run a nice 15 miler on Sunday...yeah..back to the running grind since the marathon is in 3 months.

Ran to the doctors office after lunch for a total of 3 miles in 21:43. Nice and easy...I plan to run tonight with the Pup and see where he wants to take me. I hope to get at least 2-2.5 miles out of him tonight and then do another 4-5 for myself. It's a nice day out with some thunderstorms in the area.....temps are cooling and I'm looking forward to the weekend. I have tomorrow off so it'll be really nice.
