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.

5.25 miles on the Custis Trail, through Ballston, and out Wilson. HUGE hill on Wilson Blvd at mile 3.5 and it was an ass-kicker. Almost had to ask an old lady at the top for some of her oxygen. Good to see our DC humidity is back in full effect.....wait, it's only 75 degrees out now. I can't wait until it's 95 degrees with the humidity...then it'll really feel good. Right hip is feeling a lil better and I continue to stretch it out. Planning on biking for the rest of the week and biking some distance at the beach this weekend. Oh yeah....I'm going to the beach this weekend....anyone care to join?

Huge hill on Wilson, where??? It can't be worse than going up Wilson from the Rosslyn bridge, right?

I was thinking the same thing, oh boy, I am already tired of this humidity and heat, and this is not even that bad! And to think that last year we ran on the canal during lunch in the summer, how did we do that???

Which beach are you going to? Lucky pepper, I bet he loves playing in the ocean!
