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.

Race: Cntre at Norpoint Turkey Trot (3.1 Miles) 00:22:32, Place overall: 77, Place in age division: 5
Running MilesSwimming YardsBike Miles
6.600.000.00

warm-up 2.5 miles

race...just under 7 minutes at first mile.  14:02 at 2 mile.  big hill during the 3rd mile kicked my butt as I came to mile 3 at 21:59.

cool down 1 mile.

This 5K race is the fastest I have run in a long long time.  The 2004 5K that I ran along with USPS was 22:50 something but I am pretty sure it was not a full 5K.  Today was a certfied 5 K.  I am really excited.  I am pushing things running this much on an ACL deficient knee but the biking seems to be keeping my knee pretty stable.  I am going to try to inch up on my mileage and see how much faster I can get.  4th place in my age group was 20:59.  There were alot of people older than me that beat me.  first place in all the divisions through 65-69 beat me so I have a ways to go.  We'll see how smart I can train!

Congratulations on reaching your goal! Are you going to set a new one?

Happy Thanksgiving :)

thanks to you both. I have a bad knee so I will likely not go longer. Next goal is to break 22 minutes in the 5K.
