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.

20 PU, 20 SU, 30 ext, 20 PU, 20 SU

total running time 38:06.  out in 21:00 back in 17:06.  I was fairly sore this morning.  This was about 36 hours after the Michigan work-out which I did in the evening.  I usually work out in the mornings but Tuesday I was wasted.  I atrribute the icnreased soreness to that work-out.

30 extenders...back still a bit sore so not doing pushups and situps all the time

total running time 56:52.   Ran the route across to 67th and up to Circque and then over to GV trail.  Did not go into Soundview tral this week.  I ran 3 x 1 min fartlek starting at 26 minutes.  I then went hard on GV trail at 26:55.  I ran the GV trail in 6:20.  Not bad for being tired and getting less than 6 hours sleep 2 nights in a row.
