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 from the office down to Glebe road around the metro station, down to Wilson Boulevard and back up to the office. Total run was 4.3 miles in 32 minutes. Temperature was 91 degrees at 32% humidity....yes, a hot scorching day in my book. No water during the run, but overall not all that bad unless I was stopped by traffic. Afterwards, I did 20 minutes of core workout and some nice stretching so I'm not all that sore tomorrow. My knee issue seems to have gone away but my hip is a little odd when I stop running. I'll just monitor, keep stretching and quit complaining. Well...back to work I go.

Glad the job interview went well. Hope the running continues to go in a similar vein.

Hey, where are good places to run in McLean, VA, near Tyson's Corner? A colleague has a business trip out there in August and need some good running routes. Ideas, probably preferrably something that doesn't require a drive? He's running around 3-5 miles/day right now.

Well...it really depends on where they are staying. That's basically where I live, so I can provide all sorts of good running areas. If possible, the W&OD Trail is pretty close...great running.
