Five hours and eleven minutes of sleep. Another 12-hour night shift ahead. Eighty-four degrees outside.

I still got the run in.

Three miles in 27:14 at a 9:04 pace. I started controlled at 9:18, then finished with back-to-back sub-nine-minute miles.

I did not need more distance today. I needed the work, the proof, and enough left in the tank to survive another night inside that jail.
