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.

i am really bummed.  I was planning on running 4.5 miles and pushing the second half in a tempo run.  However, at almost the half way point I felt a sharp twinge in my right hamstring.  I walked for awhile and then jogged.  This is pretty weird.

total time 45:26.  splits 9:27, 9:29, 2:08.13:00 (walk almost half then jog), 11:22.

total time 66:51.  Wasn't sure how my leg would handle this.  I iced it first.  It was muddy so I ran mostly on the cement.  9:56, 9:29, 9:24, 9:36, 9:20, 9:22, 9:44.  I didn't think I had slowed so much for the last mile.

total time 27:10.  I decided not to do itnervals but to try to gradually speed up.  splits were 9:12, 8:56, 9:02.  the mud was still a problem.  I went a different way for the last mile so it may actually have been faster just a bit longer.

in the evening I rode the bike outside for 30 minutes
