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.

Ran 12.5 miles on the W&OD and Four Mile Run Trails from late morning until early afternoon. Once again, gastrointestinal issue forced me to cut my run short. Based on my conversation with my brother Dale (fellow blogger) last night, I think I'm somewhat lactose intolerant and that is my issue. My Lucky Charms and skim milk from earlier in the morning may have negatively affected my overall running. Time to move to Soy. Overall, I finished this run in 1 hour 36 minutes and 28 seconds. Afterwards, I walked/slowly jogged another 2 miles back to my car on the trail, for a total of 14.5 for the day. Not bad considering my inconsistent training as of late. Let's just see how I feel tomorrow when I do a nice recovery run.

Nice work Dale! Lucky Charms? How old are you, seriously :)

I take my cereal with grapefruit or orange juice... it may seem weird but it's pretty tasty, you should try it!

Isn't this weather beautiful?

hehehe....I bought the box of Lucky Charms and seriously haven't had them in about 10 years. Wow...the are AWESOME! I'm usually a Cherrios guy...but the LC's were on sale and I'm eternally cheap.

Do you pour the grapefruit/orange juice into the cereal, or just eat it without milk and eat the fruits as well? At this point, I'm still re-gaining my food foothold since I'm solo, so I like trying new things.

I am totally in love with this weather. It's great for just about any outdoor activities, which is exactly what I love!

Good run this morning....I whimped out, sorry. My knees kept groaning at the thought of having to face all the concrete, but I did managed to get out once I made it back to Chesapeake.

See you in September!

I just realized I called you Dale, Aaron... did your parents get your names confused like mine did with me and my sisters? I used to hate that :)

I pour the juice over the cereal just like you would with milk... it's yummy!

Dale, I've actually gotten used to running on all this concrete, although running on more forgiving surfaces is nice from time-to-time. It was great to see you...see you soon!

No worries Lucia....it still happens in my family. My mom goes through all our names until she gets the right one.

I'll have to try the juice/cereal thing...sounds tasty!
