First run commute from new home

RUN in 5.6 miles in 55.5 mins
RUN out 4.5 miles in 44 mins

I tacked on some extra in the morning, otherwise I'd just get 9.5-ish miles and I planned on 10. And it's so much easier done in the morning!

My first time run commuting from then new house! I run up to Sydney, to Compton, around CHP, then in on my old route. Wanted to see it again, and not do my usual bike commute course.

Listened to my TJM podcast -- talked about a Navy Seal guy who advised to "do something that sucks everyday" and "get comfortable with being uncomfortable". So when it came to the last tenths to hit 5.5 miles, I went down the hill south of the hospital instead of out on a flat. Told myself that would be my suck for the day. In the end, it really didn't suck so I'll have to find something else.

The run home seemed so sluggy and slow, but the time was good. It's a long run taken altogether, still gotta get my head around the new distance.

Goal was a low HR, twice a day run.
