Not quite the #4miler or end of season performance I was hoping for but it will have to do. Today didn’t set up well for me with the weather conditions (40° not bad, but damp humid conditions not good). I definitely started feeling very uncomfortable in the second half of the race as wind picked up a little and air got moister; it did eventually start raining not long after I finished. I’ve also known from training that my stamina is lacking right now and that showed up in my final mile where I really faded and my left quad started to ache. Despite the struggles today I still managed to grab second in the 55-59 age group. And the last time I raced this distance nearly 9 months ago, I was barely able to break 40 minutes. So I’m still headed the right way. Next up - a one week break from running before I start winter season training - looking at #indoortrack, a January #xc event, and a road trip in February to run #rocknrolllasvegas #10k with some of my #athleticseastmasterstc teammates. I’ll still do some #indoorcycling and #swimming this week though. #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #zensah #zensahambassador #teamzensah #withoutlimitz #fallracingseason #winterracingseason (at Wakefield Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCSXcduZWr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
