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.

total time 108:21.  my wife got some gu energy gel which I used before the run and at 45 and 90 minutes into the run.  big difference udring the run and how I feel after the run.  splits 9:54, 9:58, 10:03, 9:50, 9:52, 9:48, 9:48, 9:35, 9:47, 9:44, 10:03.  I also had a hdyration belt too.  I drank about 10 oz of water during the run.  this run was 3:02 faster than the same distance last Saturday.  This was 9:51 pace for 11 miles.  That would be a 2 hour 9 minute half marathon.  I haev set my goal for 2hours 15 minutes.  My time that would make me really really happy would be 2 hours 5 minutes.  I ahve 4 weeks to refine my preparation.
