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.

tempo run. 66 degrees outside.  total time 53:53.  I was kind of sore getting started.  splits 9:225, 8:54, 8:56, 8:53, 8:45, 9:01.  The last mile was anything but smooth.  Twice I noticed that I was slowing and picked up the pace.  The second time the increased pace felt pretty hard.  my average heart rate for the work-out was 147.

totally underestimated the difference 9 degrees warmer and 3 miles more would make.  plan on 10 min pace x 2 miles, 9:45 min pace x 4 miles, and the 9:30 pace x 6 miles.  not even close!

  • total time 1:58.35.  splits 9:56, 9:58, 9:49, 9:44, 9:42, 9:41, 9:33, 9:33, 9:26, 9:58, 10:22, 10:52.
  • I rode the bike for 34 minutes after this run.
  • It was 70 degrees at the start of the run(last week 61 degrees).  Before the run I weighed 152.5 lbs.  I had an energy gel before the run, 1 at 45 minutes and another 1 at 1 hour 30 minutes(100 calories each).  I drank 12 oz of water during the run.  Despite this I weighed 148 lbs after the run.  Last week I consumed the same amounts but only lost 3 lbs.
