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.

the soreness is much better.  I was at lower altitude and on flatter surface.  this run went well. total running time 74:58.  running in Murray, Utah.  I was unfamiliar with this area and so did 4 miles in a mall parking lot rather than fight the morning traffic.  splits 9:31, 9:35, 9:12, 9:06, 9:19, 9:20, 9:36, 9:19,
