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.

Wow, it's been quite a while since I ran. Felt good to run tonight and I ran 5 miles in 40:28 in the neighborhood across the street. Afterwards, took Pepper, the birthday boy, out for a nice brisk 1.5 mile walk. Also hit the gym up at lunch today and did shoulders and legs. I'd imagine that they will be pretty darn sore tomorrow. Nothing like coming back for a nice run after you've dropped off the map for a while. Don't worry fellow bloggers, it won't happen again. On another note, I accepted a new job with a consulting firm, Booz Allen Hamilton, and will probably start after the first of the new year. I have three more weeks at my current job then I have the rest of the year off. Looks like I'm stuck in the DC area for a wee bit longer. Oh, and I'm moving into a house with some friends in two weeks. Wow....talk about change. Happy running bloggers!

Four miles after work around the Pimmit Hills neighborhood. Legs and body overall are pretty darn sore from my re-entry into the gym scene. If you're interested, the lights at the corner of Leonard and Griffith, Falls Church VA, 22043 are very Griswaldish. Nice, very nice. I look forward to the day when I have a house where I can lavishly decorate my house in distasteful ways. :-) Finished the four miles in 32:04, just the nice 8 minute pace I wanted. Also hit the gym at lunch again for chest, tris, and abs. Dang, I can't lift nearly as much as I used to. Nothing like a challenge to make me feel better. After the run tonight, took Pepper out for a nice 2 mile+ walk around the neighborhood. Man, my boy was happy to be out in the cold tonight. Temps during the run were in the upper 30s. Life is good....A Christmas Story is on TNT.

Nothing today....relaxation and recovery from the gym and running. Oh, plus a sprinkle of Thai food.

No running again. Went to the gym at lunch and did squats, calf raises, shoulder presses, front/side shoulder raises, and leg extensions. Legs are starting to feel better from the initial "welcome back" workout I had earlier in the week. Looking forward to happy hour tonight.....good times.
