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.

I had another great negative split run.  I increased the mileage slightly.  Overall I would like to get much faster than I am right now but I think it will come as I try hard not to over do the fast parts of my running.  total time 76:51.  splits 10:00, 9:55, 10:03, 9:57, 9:27, 9:16, 9:04, 9:10

Iw armed up for 2.9 miles.  The race got started late whichw as frustrating and they didn't have mile markers.  I ran last year in just under 26 minutes.  They changed the course.  I was not able to finish strong so I likely went out too fast.  I set a goal to break 25 minutes but improving over last year is almost as good.  I'll need to lose some weight if I really want to get faster.  cool down was 2.2 miles give a take a bit.

early Sunday morning I awoke nauseated and paced for over an hour before throwing up mulitple times over a 5-10 minutes period.  I had loose bowels as well.  I felt wiped out all day Sunday.  didn't run today.  still want to try to make 1,000 for the year.
