FIRST OFF -- THANKS FOR THE YEARS 
Our son just retired from Army after 24 years.
SECOND -- DITCH the Army ego. You are human and require different conditioning to hang in with others. The
trainer suggestion is great since you can hop on it and still be with family.
THIRD -- Some sort of schedule to improve, whether home grown but better still one taken from a book, is ideal since it will provide direction for the incremental improvements that leads to strength and endurance. Perfecting
TECHNIQUE or RIDING FORM is not to be underestimated. Energy wasted due to bad form slows one down.
FOURTH --
ENJOY THE RIDES AND HAVE FUN
