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.

Went for a run down to the C&O Canal Trail and met up with fellow blogger Lucia for a nice run down to the boathouse and back. The weather today was really hot (91 degrees), so we took it nice and easy and had a great pace throughout the entire run. The pace was just right, especially with the hot weather. Overall, it was a great run (especially since I left work to do it). The total run distance/time for me was 7 miles in 59:21. Till next time bloggers...have a Happy 4th of July and please remember why we celebrate this holiday. We are all privileged to live in this great nation. It's not all about fireworks...yet they are nice too! :)

A great run indeed, thanks Aaron! And a very good point to remind us of how lucky we are to live here. This is my first 4th of July as a U.S. Citizen and oh boy do I feel privileged! Happy 4th!

Hey, I hope the 4th celebrations didn't do you in!
