Nice morning for some #xc at the #glorydays5k this morning. This is the open race that’s part of the #glorydaysinvitational high school meet, at which of course, I’m coaching my #leelancersxc team. As for my race, I’m pleased with the outcome and it was good for 2nd in my age group. I definitely felt like I could have gone faster but that is also a sign of good fitness as I ramp up for #usatfxcnationals in December. Next race up: #richmondhalfmarathon2019 on 11/16, which I’ll use as a supported #longrun in my #xctraining. Onward…#runblr #fitblr #fallrunning #mastersxcrunner #fallracingseason (at Bull Run Park Special Events Center)

#flatme is taking shape for tomorrow morning's #glorydays5k. This will be a benchmark race in my training for #usatfxcnationals in December and I definitely want to nail down a solid time that will give me confidence. And that's just the beginning of my day at this event, because after that I switch to #xccoach mode and guide my #leelancersxc runners though the #glorydaysinvitational meet, one of the top regional #highschoolxc meets in the area. It will be my varsity's final tuneup for before Districts in less than 2 weeks, so hopefully I turn in a strong performance in the morning, and then my athletes ride that wave all day! #athleticseastc #fallrunning #mastersxcrunner #runblr #fitblr #richmondhalfmarathon2019 (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fxlIWndMb/?igshid=m9su97luzg4p
