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.

total time 56:30.  tried to go out slow but didn't really...9:18, 9:08, 9:18, 9:44, 9:26, 9:35.  the last 2 miles hurt. However, I am still getting stronger!  The last time I ran 6 miles was 18 August and I ran it in 62:37 that day. 

after about 10 minutes, I went back out on the bike for 7 miles.

didn't take the day off because we are traveling tomorrow.  Was planning on running 6 but got to bed late and then was running straight into a head wind for the first half of the run.  splits 9:21, 9:32, 8:58, 8:33 for a total run ov 36:24.  Pasrt of the reason coming back wsa so much faster was the wind.  I would like to get to the point that I can run every day without heavy legs but the legs were a bit heavy.  still these orthotics and the new balance shoes have made a tremendous difference!

I got up early and ran with a head lamp on.  With 3 days rest I went out faster than I thought.  I am getting stronger.  total time 35:43.  splits 8:45, 8:58, 9:00, 9:00.  running outside is much better than a treadmill!

total running time 35:49.  Miles splits 9:13, 9:09, 8:55, 8:33.  By deliberately slowing the pace initially... I got warmed up and was able to put in a fast last mile.  I need to look for a 5K to run.

got up really early in order to have time for a long run.  was going to ride bikes too but ran out of time early and then energy later.  Total time for this run was 54:09.  Splits were 9:12, 9:05, 9:13, 9:01, 8:37, and 9:01.  I am beginning to wonder if the 2nd and 5th miles are short?  Nevertheless...this was way faster than I have run 6 miles in a long time.  it feels good.
