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 today after lunch along the Custis Trail in the DC heat that has unfortunately returned. Temperature was about 86 degrees and humidity was somewhat back in the air. My legs were really sluggish after Sunday's long run and strengthening exercises I did at the gym last night. Nonetheless, it was good to get out and at least stretch them out. I ended up doing 6 miles in 49:50. Afterwards, I realized that I may be coming down with a cold of sorts, or my allergies may be really putting me through the ringer. I feel really run-down, sluggish, and I just want to pull a George Kastanza and take a nap under my desk. Oh well...another meeting tomorrow to prep for...time to get back to work.

Hahaha! A nap under my desk sounds great too... that's funny! Great running today Aaron, drink lots of water and rest up tonight and you'll feel better tomorrow - I've heard of a bunch of others here in DC that are feeling similar symptoms, including myself. I think there's something in the air. It is hot today indeed!

Whatever nap illness Greg has must've rubbed off on you...

I suppose it runs in the family. Nyquil seems to have done the job last night.
