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.

running at Stanford temp in high 50's.  total time 51:41   splts 9:30, 7:24, 9:16, 7:28, 9:24, 7:29, 1:09.  this was a work-out on a whim.  I thought I would see how fast I could run a mile but then decided not to go all out but to do this work-out.  the bonus is that I have very little soreness in my pubic bone area.

It had rained and was 68 degrees so I couldn't resist and ran outside.  The humidity in the eand killed me.  I stuck with my plans to do run a ladder after 30 minutes of warm-up.  total time 1:38: 29.  it was a 1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4-5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1-1 so it took 50 minutes.  splits 9:40, 9:30, 9:25, 8:37, 8:56, 9:31, 10:03, 10:32 (walked for 50 second on the clock), 11:34 (walked for a minute off the clock), 10:41.  really dead by the end.  lost 5 lbs during the run.
