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.

Outside 76 degrees and 61% humidity.  total time 49:30.  guess on the distance.  I ran about 9:25 pace for the first 3-3.5 miles and then between 9;45 and 10:10 pace for the last bit.  There was mud everywhere so I didn't get a split except for between 1.3 and 2.35 miles which I ran in 9:40.
