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.

20 PU, 25 SU, 25 ext, 20 PU, 25 SU.

ran a tempo run after 6 minute warm-up.  on track at Charles Wright.

4800 meters:  8:00/ 8:02/7:58 (1200 in 6:07 then last 400 in 1:51)

Intent was to do 3.5 miles but ran out of steam.

quite tired at the end of this work-out....weather of the last few weeks has affected my fitness.  elbow tendonitis seems to have resolved.  will slowly try to add back pushups.  arms are really sore today.

44 minutes on the bike.  I generally stop at 40 minutes but I was reading and lost track of time. 

my left lower calf is really tight.  I may end up skipping the run tomorrow.

slow run...total time 54:10.  not sure of the distance.  thought it was 6 miles.  can't really tell for sure as the pedometer thing on line wasn't cooperating.

total running time 41:39.

ran 9 x 2 min fartleks.  I probably need to get back on the track for some speed work as it seems like it is taking longer to get the same distance run doing fartleks.
