Easy run on MacArthur Ranch Road loop. 5:09 am, 36° F, 36% humidity, wind 5 SE, partly cloudy, full moon.
I felt really sluggish at the beginning of this run. It took me half the run to really get going. At one point I was running on the shoulder of the road and noticed the glow of a headlight approaching me from behind and for a split second I thought it was a car even though it wasn't making any noise. I jumped up onto the grass to avoid it. But it turned out to be a bicycle. It just startled me. Later I was nearly hit by a car turning right from a side street onto the street I was running on, but I was able to pull up short and avoid it. The driver mouthed "sorry" or something like that. The driver was a teenage girl. Not long after that, I encountered old man with the stiff arm runner and passed him. That's about all that happened on my run this morning. Except my husband called me a couple of times during my run and I had to take off my glove to answer the phone because I can't slide it open with a glove on. That made me kind of cold. The temperature actually dropped a degree over the course of my run. I'm still stressed about something.
AP: 9:26. Splits: 10:11, 9:58, 9:48, 9:37, 9:44, 9:18, 9:05, 8:57, 8:49, 8:59.
