Personal:

I retired from the Army after 26 years of service in 2010.  I moved home to Arizona.  My wife and I are empty nesters.  In 2016 I had stents placed in my heart after discovering coronary artery disease.  Since early 2016 I have lost 30 lbs and got in much better shape.  August 2017 I retired again. We served a mission to Mexico from October 2017 until April 2019.

long week on call and an early morning meeting today. Got up at 5 am.  33 degrees on the outside thermometer. very tired. intended to go a bit slow and then negative split.

 

splits 9:18, 9:12, 9:14, 9:23, 9:16, 9:36... as you can see the negative split plan didn't happen. total time 56 flat.

weird day.  it was raining and about 6 degrees.  i like running in "warm rain"  however...30s econds into my run I was jumping a puddle up onto a curb and I misjudged the location of a large tree branch.  I hit my head and it stopped me cold and laid me flat!  i got up and ran my 6 miles.  ebcause of the rain I was on concrete or asphalt essentially the whole time.  my legs are dead and now that I am home I am getting a serious headache.  The distances are off too because I am usually on trails.  total time 55:21.  splits 9:23, 8:59, 8:59, 9:10, 9:17, and 9:33.  just a weird run and I will be paying for it for the next 2 days.
