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.

Ran with Jeff for 3 miles. Did a tempo run for 1.5 miles at around 7:45 pace. Ran over to the track after that to do 1 hard 400. Total time 63:18. Splits 9:28, 8:29, 7:48, 9:22, 6:41(@.7), 1:39.9, 0:21, 10:00, 9:29. Average heart rate 133. The 400 really got my heart rate up and it didn't come down for awhile.

As I was getting ready to run 12 I decided that I would try to set a half marathon PR on a training run. I am in Ames, Iowa and there is this cool trail. It is rolling with ups and downs but I thought I would see how it goes. 8:40's pace has got to the point that it feels easy. Splits are as follows: 9:05, 8:48, 8:45, 8:48, 8:41, 8:58, 8:45, 8:45, 9:02, 8:40, 8:40, 8:47, 8:52, 11:17. I went hard through 13.15 miles. My watch got me at 1:55:33 for the half marathon for more than a 30 second pr. I slowed a lot for the last part of the run for a total time of 2:05:54. I knew I was in good shape. I did this with heavy shoes and no taper. Pretty happy with this run.
