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.

About 1.5 minutes into my run I got on a path right as this group of 6 women were running by.  I knew they were going faster than me and tried to not let it affect my pace but when I got to my first mile mark I was surprised.  I ahd to deliberately try to slow down.Then by the 3rd mile I had slowed down too much.  I am feeling much stronger lately.  I still feel fat and slow!
