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 am pretty excited about this race.  I beat even my dream for this.  I underestimated what running in lighter shoes would do to help me.  However, I am super sore now.

The race was a bit windy and really crowded.  The corwds were good for me as it forced me to to go out too fast.  First mile was 7:55 and I felt really good.  Second mile was 7:39.  Somhow I missed the 3 mile mark but I came through at 4 miles in 15:34 for the 2 miles.  My 5th mile was 8:27 but I am sure i didn't slow down that much.  The 6th mile was 7:37 so averaging the two the pace was 8:02.  I didn't have much of a kick but I knew I ahd exceeded all my goals for this race.  I was excited.

Jeff took 3rd in the race.  There was a guy named Andrew Lemoncello who is a pro runner.  He overwhlemed everyone winning by more than 1.5 minutes.  A guy from NAU came up on Jeff during the second half of the race and beat him by 12 seconds.  It was pretty windy too.

a good day!

42:32.  I was really sore this morning.  yesterday was such a lazy day I didn't even take my ant-inflammatory meds.  I sure am feeling it today.  my left achilles tendon is really inflammed after running the race in flats.
