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 on the treadmill at the gym for 3.25 miles in 34 minutes at a 3% grade. I probably should have run outside, but I just didn't feel like it. Also did my chest/shoulders workout, although it was less than spirited today. Afterwards, took Pepper on a nice trot for 1.75 miles to give me a nice 5 for the day. It's still warm out, so we took it really easy because I didn't want to overheat the pup. Time for a cookie...or two! :)

Sounds like you had a great day! How's the IT band lately?

It was a pretty good day, especially for working out/running. IT band seems to be doing much better now. It hasn't hurt at all this week and everything seems to be working as advertised. I think that some of it may be the fact that I'm now religously doing leg strengthening/isolation exercises at the gym to go along with my stretching.
