Played close to 7,000 hands at $1/$2 and made ~$5100. Ran about 18 PTBB/100. I have no idea if that's an indication of running really hot, or just the massive skill difference between me and my competition. (After all, this is a much smaller game than I'm accustomed to, and I'm pretty tight about my game selection.)

I did plug the stats into PokerEV and it turns out I actually ran badly in all-in situations, to the tune of $900 below expectation or so. Obviously this doesn't affect me in heads-up as much because I'm winning so many pots without showdown, but it was neat to see the graph and see a 5,000 hand breakeven stretch in "Sklansky Bucks" where I actually LOST $1500 at showdown, but still made $1500 overall.

So I feel really positive about these results. Gonna keep plugging away and move up after I've logged some more significant time. I have no real idea what expected volume or winrates are for HU players, but if this is sustainable you'll see me at it for a good while.
