Smile MR to LAX

I am going to do a MR on DL --> RIC to LAX. I have not flown to LAX in ages..my question is for those who have seen LAX recently and know the airport. My flight out there lands at 1023 and coming home I leave at 1140. 80 minute turn. Worse case scenario, from one end to the other (are all DL gates close?), including taxiing, am I asking for trouble? From experienced MR day runners -- is this connection too close?

Thanks for any help you can give.

By the way, 5 cpm (2.5cpm after bonuses) and gets me to DL Platinum, have to take Wednesday off work....

LAX is my home airport. If traveling Delta - Delta 80 minutes is more than enough time. Terminal 5 is not that big.

Should not be an issue either way, plenty of time. However not all Delta flights are in terminal 5. A few are in terminal 6. If you have to change terminals you do not have to exit security; there is a long creepy tunnel between the two.
