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 tried something different.  I ran without my watch on.  I was going to do the whole run just timing the start and finish but then I decided to push the button and certain points but not look at the time.  My goal was to run negative splits and to go faster.  Let's see how I did.  I pushed the button first at the 2 mile mark- 18:12.  Seeing that I am surprised because I was trying to hold back.  My turn-a-round point has always been baed upon my perceived pace but this time I guessed.  3 mile mark time 9:06 (I was trying to speed up so this might have been a bit long).  4 mile time 9:08.  5th mile 9:24 (I could tell I wa struggling).  So my goal to do a negative split was not achieved but the total time of 45:50 was way faster than I have done 5 miles in quite some time!

I rode the bike outside 7.1 miles in 27 minutes... then I ran 5 miles.  The run started out great as I felt really comfortable and frankly was surprised at the first 2 miles.  right at the end of the 3rd mile I could tell I was in trouble.  so slower overall but building strength.

time 48:01.  miles splits...9:12, 9:09, 9:15, 9:55, 10:30.
