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.

it was a bit hotter this morning but I still ran my longest run since getting to AZ.  By the end I was really drained.  I lost 4 pounds during this run.

total time 62:28.  I feel like I am getting a better since of my pace in the heat.  A stertch that I run that I thought was 1.35 miles is almost certainly longer.  I am now going to call it 1.44. 

I am pleased with this run today.  My mileage will be lower for the next two weeks as I will be going to PCH everyday.  I am really looking forward to the time when I will be at the East Valley clinic three times a week.  It will reduce my commute by at least 45 minutes and likely clsoer to an hour.

43:28.  Started out running easy.  With mile just before the turnaround 9:12.  The mile right after the turnaround was 8:09 and then I did another segment of the return in 4:27 (before the turnaround same segment was 4:48).  I amr eally looking forward to the temps cooling off.

on thew ay home did a 3 minute fartlek at 32 minutes.  temp was in low 70's and it almost felt cool.  It was a really great day for a work-out like I did.  I am far slower than I would like to be.

total running time 37:57.  I added 0.4 on to the same route I ran yesterday morning.  Today I was sore and slow at warming up.  I ran 6 x 2 min fartlek this morning.  There wasn't as much bounce in my step as there was yesterday morning.  The mornings remain cooler.

track workout.

8 min warm-up.  3 x 800 3:47, 3:45, 3:47.  then 1 x 400 in 1:51.

8:02 cool down.  frustrating that this is so slow compared to what I was running 6 months ago.  The heat really slowed me down over the summer.

total run time 37:32
