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.

Took the day off and went out to Great Falls National Park with Pepper. It is beautiful outside (60-65/partly cloudy) and we did some serious hiking. First 3.5 miles was in really difficult and rocky terrain while the last 3.5 miles was along the Potomac River. I wish I could take off every Friday and spend it with the dog.

Don't we all! Keep dreaming though.

As far as those select individuals at work that are less capable, just look at it like this....there presence makes you seem all the more invaluable!

No kidding. I was kind of wishing that Pepper would be tired because of the hike, but he somehow has more energy. Alas, I think he has finally laid down to take a snooze for the night.
