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 after work around Pimmit Hills across the road and did the 5 miles loop. Finished the loop in 38:44. It took a while to get going tonight and my right foot hurt near the back left side of the ball of my foot. Odd, it's been a little like that lately but I haven't been all that worried about it. After I warm up, it typically goes away. Afterwards, I gathered Pepper up and we did a nice and easy 2 miles for a cooldown for a total of 7 miles for the day. He's really getting good with running with me which bodes well for us in the future, especially since it should get cooler sooner. Looking forward to a really short week as this is my last "friday off" from a summer 9/80 program. Oh well, it's been nice while it lasted but I also have plenty of vacation saved for future use. Thinking about hiking this Sunday, somewhere in Shenandoah, but I'm unsure if I want to put the miles on my car. Oh well...a decision will come soon enough. At least I have Penn State football on Saturday. Let's go State! 1-0 and onward to a National Championship!

Glad you're recovered from your sinus infection last week and able to get back to training. Hope PSU can do that well against a BCS opponent! Well, okay, maybe half as well, as long as the split goes in our direction, right?

My allergies have been horrendous lately and the sinus infection was a direct result. Thankfully, I'm just about recovered...just in time to get to some hard core training for the MCM at the end of next month. I'm aiming for a 3:30 but would be happy if I ran 3:45. I should be able to get the 3:30..in my humble opinion.
