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.

Easy 3 miles with Pepper to try and tire him out before the Phillies game. It worked for once. He came in, finished his dinner, then went directly to bed (sprawled across the pillows). Went to the doctors today and found out what I figured in the first place, I have ANOTHER sinus infection. I somehow think that the first one never really went away since it was only a few weeks ago. Got some meds and some new stuff to help heal the sinuses and am totally wiped out because of them. Finally, took my Asic Kayano 14's back to the store and exchanged them for some Broooks Infinitis, which I should receive in the mail in a few days. I never should have strayed from the Brooks. I've got 1 1/2 weeks to break in the shoes before the marathon. Oh, and I'm heading up to beautiful State College, PA for the PSU/Michigan football game this weekend. I love the drive up there during this time of year because the foliage is absolutely gorgeous. Let's go Lions!

Okay, now i'm jealous. Have a good time at the game when we *finally* get the Michigan monkey off our backs! And get better quick....you've got a marathon to run.

As you should be jealous. I would be too! :) Whether I do good or bad, I will run this marathon if it kills me.

Ohhhhh no for the sinus infection! I used to get those all the time... I am convinced that they went away 7 years ago simply because I started doubling up my water intake every day... you have to drink until your pee is almost completely clear and doesn't smell... nice topic, ha? I read about it on a book. But of course it's possible that there were other factors involved. It can't hurt to try and water is practically free!

Too bad about the blisters too, not good!

The foliage is AMAZING right now, you're going to love it!
