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.

Due to the opressive heat and humidity, I decided to run on the treadmill after working out at the gym. I HATE running on treadmills, but didn't want to run in the nasty heat. Ran 6.5 miles in 60:01. Felt good and I imagine that I could have run further/faster if I was actually outside. Good start to the week where I will hopefully have Friday off. Hmmmm...maybe I'll head out to hike Old Rag on Friday or Saturday.

Good job staying on the treadmill for an hour! I cannot handle the treadmill, sadly, because it seems that this summer here is going to be dreadful.

I dare you to hike Robertson Mountain after Old Rag, it's right next to it and really steep. It'd be a good one to train hill repeats! http://www.hikingupward.com/SNP/RobertsonMountain/

Thanks for the suggestion Lucia. Maybe I'll do both on Saturday.
