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.

this was after a 2 hour nap at home.  Flew this morning on a non-stop Alaska flight.

42:26 total run time.  ran a tempo run on the CW track.  6 minutes warm-up then 3.5 mile tempo- 1 mile 8:01, second mile 8:01, third mile 8:00and last 800 3:47.  The cool down for remaining time.

Since I hadn't found time to do the exercise bike (very important for my knee stability) I did it for 30 minutes right after my run(9.8 miles but can't submit on same day or it blocks out the running miles).  I am pretty sore.  No time to exercise tomorrow and Saturday will be pretty busy too. 

good week so far.  just a very busy season.

45:46 total time.  road conditions terrible.  The shoulder was taken up with snow drifts.  I was slogging through the snow drift at times because of the cars.

Anyway, not easy going despite this being my "easy" day.

25 extenders.  strained my back shoveling snow so I didn't do sit-up.

ran for 47:30 and pretty bad footing.  couldn't go very fast.  The total distance is a bit of a guess.  was planning on fartlek training but just being able to run was good enough.

25 extenders.

65:15 run.  still no shoulders.  lots of snow and ice to negotiate.  this was the same 7.5 mile loop I have run several times before.  can't wait for the snow and ice to dissipate.

I felt really tight and sore after yesterday.  Because of the snow I had to run on the hard surface the whole time yesterday.  Today I ran to the track.  I wasn't pushing at all and ran 2.75 miles at tempo (8:19, 8:14, 6:05).  The cool down was pretty slow.
