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 58:41. plan was warm-up 1 mile then repeat 1K intervals with 1 minute standing recovery in between each. the 1 minute was NOT on the clock.  felt pretty good although this was hard... splits 9:27, 7:39, 7:37, 7:51, 7:57, 8:06, 10:04. ave HR 133.

next time I might put include the 1 minute rests in the time so I can get interval times for each kilometer. if I had done this today it would have added 7 minutes to the time... 65:41.
