  • 5.51 miles, 5th south loop 9:41 AP
  • abs with 2x1 min planks

My little alarm clock woke up (starving!) a few hours earlier than normal so I was able to easily run outside before James needed to leave.  This loop at that AP used to be harder than it was this morning.  What used to be a hard effort to get under 10:00 is now an easy run.  I can tell my base mileage is finally paying off!  And I never have to worry about seeing 10:00 AP anymore (unless I'm really tired).  Looking forward to having 8:00's AP being the new norm, but that may take awhile.  Now that I've been back to work just over a month, I can see that the lack of sleep from the night shift is slowing my progress a bit (I had to cut back on the longer runs for now), but we're getting there!
