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 running time...48:47.  I was in a hurry to get going to the track emet up in Bellingham and didn't get a full run in.  I had to drop off a car for my wife since she go home from a visit to Utah while we were up in Bellingham.  She took the express bus to Tacoma and I took the car to the park and ride.  I ran pavement all the way home which was bad.  my legs were more sore than when I run 7 miles on trails.  Anyway...I have a PT test in a little over a week so will cut back a little more during the week.

6 min warm up then 5600 meters in 27:57 (8:01, 7:59, 8:02, 3:55)

This tempo run felt really easy for the first 1600. it is the first time in a long time I have been able to do this. I had my heavy MC shoes on too.

this was a good work-out.

65 pushups

70 situps

1.5 miles warm up then 2 mile test.  Just didn't have it today to push the second half.  Splits were pretty even at 7:00 and then 7:10.

cooled down for 2.5 miles.  This is a 300 (perfect score) on the test...my 6th in a row.  Considering that it took me 9 years to bounce back from an ACL rupture and that I still don't ahve an ACL in my right knee- I am pleased with this.  15 seconds slower than last fall but still ok.

I was really sore.  My right arch is bugging me.  I think I made a misstake running all my mileage on the day of the PT test in my racing flats.

 

I ran after a full day of work.  I think the distance is corrcet.  total time was 46:32 so I was going slow.
