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.

a bit short on time.  total running time 27:36.  after 7 minutes of warm-up I ran 1 minute hard 2 minute recovery.  It didn't take long for the hard to be not so fast and the recovery to be SLOW.  I ran a total of 7 hard minutes.  splits 9:13, 9:00, 9:23.

total running time 47:36.  I am trying to run the slow work-outs a bit slower but go harder on the ahrd stuff.  I was pretty tight this morning.  still, I planned to try to gradually speedup the second half of the run.  Little did I realize that there was a light wind blowing at my back for the first half of my run.  It seemed more signifcant as I turned around and had it in my face!  splits 9:37, 9:27, 9:34, 9:39, 9:19.
