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.

did lots of strecthing before, at 1.5 miles and then again at 2 mile.  total time 37:10.  I warmed up for 2 miles and then ran 1 mile as hard as I could.  I was hoping for faster.  Last mile was initially a cool down but I gradually sped up.  splits:  9:33, 9:29, 7:57, 10:11.

total time 67:06.  Splits 9:31, 9:35, 9:39, 9:36, 9:26 (did not realize I had sped up), 9:38, 9:41.  This is the most even a long run I have had in a long time.  I was hoping to go 5 in 9;30 to 9:40 pace and then run 9:20's the last 2 miles.  Didn't quite get there but came close.

I inadvertently shut off my watch for a little over a half of a mile.  I warmed up in 1 mile and then was going to go up tempo for 2 miles.  First mile 9;37, second mile ??, third mile 8:58.

total running time 71:09 mkinutes.  It was rainy and windy and I had to run on hard surfaces because my usual trails are muddy.  I ahve two places in which I had reliable splits... between 0.83 and 1.83 miles and that was a 9:46 and then between 5.5 and 6.5 miles and that was a 9:41.  I was trying really hard to run even the whole way and I feel like I accomplished that fairly well.  now I need to lose some weight and increase my speed.

warm-up 2.6 mile.  race 3.1.  cool down 1.2 miles.

They didn't have the miles marked for the 5K so I only got one realy split and that was between 1 and 2 miles and that was 7:54. My goal was 26 minutes.  i underestimated the benefit of a good warm up and good stretching along with lighter weight shoes.  The best mile I had done in my heavy NB shoes was 7:57.  anyway... I am pleasantly surprised by this time.

ran with my brother Mike.  Not sure about the mile markers but total running time was 79:36.

splits 9:38, 9:30, 9:48, 10:04, 10:05, 9:36, 9:42, 10:34, :38.  By the end I was dead.  This is the most mileage I put in since before my stress fracture.
