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.
45:46 total time. road conditions terrible. The shoulder was taken up with snow drifts. I was slogging through the snow drift at times because of the cars.
Anyway, not easy going despite this being my "easy" day.
25 extenders. strained my back shoveling snow so I didn't do sit-up.
ran for 47:30 and pretty bad footing. couldn't go very fast. The total distance is a bit of a guess. was planning on fartlek training but just being able to run was good enough.
65:15 run. still no shoulders. lots of snow and ice to negotiate. this was the same 7.5 mile loop I have run several times before. can't wait for the snow and ice to dissipate.
I felt really tight and sore after yesterday. Because of the snow I had to run on the hard surface the whole time yesterday. Today I ran to the track. I wasn't pushing at all and ran 2.75 miles at tempo (8:19, 8:14, 6:05). The cool down was pretty slow.
