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 today. stretched really well before the run and felt pretty good.  at the 10 minute mark I upped the tempo signiifcantly and then sustained it.  at just over 2 minutes of the tempo run I hit my spot for measuring a mile and ran 8:07 followed by 8:06.  I ran another 0.55  at the increased tempo before slowing down.  total run was 41:56.  I am pretty happy with this run.  I will start pushing the pace more as I prepare for a race in November (gotta decide what I am going to run).

total running time 69:54.  ran based upon time.  Turned around at 35 minutes and returned in 34:54.  At 5.5 miles did a mile in 8:32.  I was pleased with this run today.  The same mile split at 1.5 miles was in 8:42 and felt very comfortable.  The 8:32 was not comfortable!

total running time 34:43.  I ran steady most of the way.  My left lower leg is bothering me from the 8 mile run so I didn't do the fartleks.  I did pick up the pace a bit for about 4 minutes near the end of the run.  Tomorrow I will go hard.

total running time 45:14.  track workout.  warm up for around 11 minutes then 3 x 800 with 800 active recovery.  800's in 3:36, 3:37, and 3:42.  800's in between were 5:03 and 5:15.  Fastest I ahve gone in awhile but still pretty slow.  I start a week on call on friday... not sure how much I will be able to run then.

after a 4 minute warm-up I went steady but hard.  I let up with about 2 minutes to go.  total running time was 34:33.  I signed Jeff and I up for the Mesa Mi amigos Turkey trot.  Initially he said he didn't want to run a 10K but then realized it was almost 3 weeks after his marathon.  This will be the first time I have raced a 10K since I tore my ACL a long time ago.  I'll be lucky if I can break 50 minutes.  Jeff will likely beat me by15-20 minutes.

total time 68:20.  I feel I am getting stronger.  I turned around at 34 minutes.  I tried to keep up the pace but couldn't quite do it.  The one segment that I am pretty sure on the distance I ran a mile in 8:29 on the way out and then 8:31 on the way back.  I am hoping to run the 10 K at around 8:15 pace.  We'll see what happens in a month!
