The sleep demons came for me this am, trying to get me to sleep in but I prevailed for an easy 5.5 miler. Being tired is not an excuse not to get up to get your mileage.

New mileage distance for weekday runs of 6.0 miles, should be sustainable going forward. Looks like the first ARR 5k is tomorrow, I thought it was Monday, so a surprise race day!
