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.
They didn't have the miles marked for the 5K so I only got one realy split and that was between 1 and 2 miles and that was 7:54. My goal was 26 minutes. i underestimated the benefit of a good warm up and good stretching along with lighter weight shoes. The best mile I had done in my heavy NB shoes was 7:57. anyway... I am pleasantly surprised by this time.
ran with my brother Mike. Not sure about the mile markers but total running time was 79:36.
splits 9:38, 9:30, 9:48, 10:04, 10:05, 9:36, 9:42, 10:34, :38. By the end I was dead. This is the most mileage I put in since before my stress fracture.
