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.

total time 56:52. plan was actually for 8 miles but I woke up super early thinking about the notice we were given last night that we have to fly home to Arizona, My head was spinning with details. I ahve had less than 6 hours sleep 3 nights this week and barely got 5 hours last night. I was also wearing the NB 1540's which are heavier. I wanted to run between 9 and 9:10 pace but everytime I got to that point I couldn't hold it. The bosque de Aragon was still open so I had 4.3 miles on softer surface. splits 9:37, 9:27, 9:26, 9:28, 9:22, 9:31.

total running time 46:56. easy run in heavier shoes. splits 9:32, 9:27, 9:25, 9:19, 9:14. HR not because there was 8-10 minutes of itnerference and the HR was much higher on my watch than true HR.
