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.

ran outside with my brother mike.  We left about 5:10 am.  total time 101:48.  Through 8 miles we were about 9:55 pace.  I walked for 2 minutes and then completed the run for a full 10 miles.  The last 2 miles I did in 21:39 including the 2 minutes of walking.   It was good to get this in now as I really need to have increased miles and I haven't had much chance this month.
