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 in the afternoon at work and hit up the Custis Trail. It was hot (93+) and the humidity was downright nasty. Overall, finished 5.5 miles in 42:06 so it was a nice run. Stopped at the Ballston Mall about midway through the run to sneak some water from the Panera Bread....it was absolutely frigid...just the way I needed it. Felt good during the run and am glad that this should be the last day of nasty heat. Hit the gym up after work and then took Pepper on a nice brisk 1.5 mile walk to end the night. This was followed by 2 cookies that he wanted me to share with him, but they had cholocate. Alas...no cookies for Pep.

Glad to see you're back in business and feeling good. Thanks for your message! Any news on Denver?

It's good to be back running. I hope you're feeling better today. I attribute my minor soreness today to my lack of running in recent weeks. Nothing on Denver yet...I figure another 1-5 weeks before I hear anything, although I found 2 other jobs I may apply to out there.
