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.

treadmill again.  30 minutes.  First mile in 9:30.  Second mile 9:10, third mile 8:45.  After warming up for a half of a mile I gradually went faster.  The third mile I upped the pace every quarter of a mile (8:57, 8:49, 8:41, 8:34).  I ran much slower the last 2 minutes and 35 seconds.

total running time 47:21.  splits 9:42, 9:32, 9:26, 9:23, 9:18.  I was hoping to be able to start slow and gradually speed up.  The last mile really hurt.  It was 78 degrees when I started the run and 79 when I finished.

I got home and changed clothes and then rode 5 miles on the bike.
