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.

I got up at 3 am Friday to make it to the airport for 4 different legs of a journey that allwoed me to acompany a struggling missionary home to Mississippi.  This morning I went to Houston and then back to Mexico City.  I ran at 1:30 in the afternoon with 73 degree temp.  total tme 61:21.  felt pretty drained.  splits 9:33, 9:45, 9:58, 9:31, 9:06, 8:57, 4:31.  I deliberately tried to push a bit more the last 3.5 miles which worked.
