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.

6 Miles with pepper in the rain after work at night. Stuck to the sidewalks since he's afraid of storm drains. Uber-busy week at work with end of the week slowly approaching.

Day off today to re-coup time lost last weekend and this week. Went out to the C&O Canal Trail at Great Falls and ran west. Plan was to get water along the way at the various water stations I saw on the website, but none were up and running. Needless to say, I got out 6 miles and realized that I really needed water. Unfortunately, at the same time, I noticed a nice hot spot on my left big toe. Not good...not good at all. At least the weather was nice. Stumbled my way back to the starting point and finished my 12 miles in about 1:35. Plan was to go 23 miles today, but with the massive blister I have on my toe and my lack of water, I was completely and utterly de-motivated. Picked up some anti-friction stuff at the running store on the way home. My guess is that I'll try it again on Sunday and shoot for 24 miles on routes I know. Dang...why did I try to be adventurous? Oh well, at least I got 12 miles in and felt really good while doing it. Blogging has been difficult at best this week due to work craziness. The cool thing was that I got to work at the White House and met some pretty high powered folks there. Unfortunately, the President decided against joining our work because he was dealing with the current financial crisis. Oh well...maybe next time? Still no word on Colorado. I'm now looking for a new job down in this area as I'm getting disgusted with the one I have. I do want to do the same type of work, but maybe with a non-profit. Oddly enough, they pay well in my line of work. Marathon in 23 days...should be fun. For some reason, I always seem to ramp it up at the last minute! :) Can you say, procrastinator?
