Stretching 4:30:00 [2]

shoes: Salomon SC3 Bl/Bl 3
Lake Ranch Reservoir. Another one of those out of the blue runs, probably the fastest at the lake since 2006!
Knew I had done a surprising fast one not that long ago, but didn't remember when or how fast until I got back and looked it up. Lots of similarities. That one was Dec 26, 2017, and Rachel and Louise started out ahead of me and I chased them. This one L started ahead of me and I chased her, and though the effort level seemed only slightly above normal, the splits were amazingly fast. The cold temp definitely got my motor running! We had to park a bit down the hill, and I jogged up and just kept on going, so I got a good warm up. (Oddly, just after the start, I suddenly couldn't put weight on my right ankle, so I limped for maybe 15 steps, and then I was fine - weird.) Did 4 loop backs along the way, so by the time I got back to what is usually a half-mile to go, I figured that that was enough for the day and just jogged back. Turns out that at that point I was 24 seconds ahead of last year's incredible run! If I'd realized that, I probably would have kept going; pretty sure I would have done the last split under 420 (making the total under 3540), maybe even close to 400. In any case, the four loop backs were certainly the equivalent of that. Note, though, that in last year's run, I also went up to the third bridge, so that was quite incredible, too.
-------434(452)927(427)1354(418)1812
---- 3119(511)2607(349)2218(406)
4 loop backs totaling 506, roughly .57 mi (might've been more like .6). First loop back came at the near side of the lake, then one each after the next three splits.
