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 did not feel well during this run. not sleeping well which I attribute to my new medication. total time 67:29.  plan was to warm-up and then run 9:30 pace. splits 9:42, 9:31, 9:30, 9:33, 9:47, 9:45, 9:41. I stopped at 2 miles to fix shoes. 2.5+ miles to talk to some people that I have been greeting on my run who wished me a happy birthday. Then at 5 and 6 miles to catch my breath.

total time 54:52. I continue to not sleep well on this new medication. I ran 0.25 miles up tempo at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 miles. At 5.5 miles I ran up tempo the rest of the run totaling 6 miles. My average HR is up anywhere from 4-9 BPM. The intervals actually help with the way I am feeling. splits 9:14, 9:06, 9:15, 9:07, 9:13, 8:57. I had 2 stops of 15-20 seconds for traffice. I stopped to change to the next conference session I was listening to at 3.2 miles and 1 more traffic stop of 5 seconds.  average HR 130.

total time 56:58. plan was an easy run. I skipped the medication last night and the run went much better plus I slept 7 hours instead of 4. splits 9:49, 9:36, 9:38, 9:32, 9:19, 9:04. average HR was 124. I will take the medication this morning after breakfast and we will see how things go. Hopefully the side effects will diminish over time but if they don't I will not continue the medication.

total time 89:50. plan at the beginning of the week was to run 10 miles but include 4 x half miles every 1.5 miles. I have had some mild tightness in my left hamstring and decided to just attempt a negative split sub 9 minute pace run. splits 9:15, 9:08, 9:01, 9:06, 8:58, 8:57, 8:56, 8:58, 8:53, 8:39. 45:28 followed by 44:22.  average HR 125.  very happy to see how I do without taking that medication.
