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 on my 5 mile loop in 36:47...felt ok during the run but couldn't get my breathing regulated. It was pretty humid and I believe that it contributed to my breathing issues. Hit the long steep hill towards the end of the run and trucked all the way to the top then took a slow job at the top to catch my breath. Stepped up the run and finished the last mile at a nice gallop. Afterward, I took Pepper for a 1.5 mile trot/stroll to round out the evening. Plan is to try and run every day this week at or after work for at least 5 miles to have a fun-filled week of running.
