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 52:51. Plan was to get out the door and run. I felt pretty good and decided within the first few minutes to push the pace adn see how long I could hold it.  I felt really relaxed for the first 3 miles and then it started to hurt a little. By the last mile I was hurting alot.  Splits 9:12, 8:40, 8:41, 8:43, 8:46, 8:49. average HR 134.  Not sure how accurate the HR is?

total running time 75:31. plan was 1.5 miles at 9:30 pace then 0.5 miles at 8 min pace and repeat x 4 for 8 miles. Couldn't do it. The comibination of readjusting to the altitude and the 19,000+ steps yesterday killed me.  splits 9:23, 4:37, 4:05, 9:29, 4:45, 4:12, 9:44, 4:50, 4:22, 10:09, 9:56. I was really spent at the end.

Total running time 39:51.  I worked the morning shift and we had a farewell meal with a couple that are finishing as full time temple workers. The meal was huge and I went for a run about 1 hour and 45 minutes after eating due to time constraints. It was difficult.  splits 10:18, 10:15, 9:42, 9:36.
