Busy morning - #5k race first, the @bishopseventsllc Burke Lake Fall 5k. Unlike the last Bishop's event 2 weeks ago, this one drew out a fast field. In the last race I won my age group and was over a minute slower. Today, nowhere close to the podium. I got to #burkelakepark with just enough time to get my bib and do a one-mile #warmupjog. Then I stripped down in the morning chill (46°) and changed my shoes (@endasportswear Iten). Ideally I would have done some dynamic stretching but there was not enough time so I lined up. The first mile was downhill and probably a little quicker than I was ready for. I was laboring in mile 1 but settled down after that, still at faster paces than 2 weeks ago. I'll take it as progress. After a 2-mile #cooldownjog with my @athletics_east_masters_tc teammates, I headed to #lifetimefairfax to get my strength work done. Then finally, to @dunkin for a @beyondmeat sandwich and ☕️. #runblr #mastersrunning #xcracingseason #fallracingseason #trailracing #xcracing #mastersxcrunner #ontothenextrace #keepshowingup (at Burke Lake Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFUyP8rH9Gh/?igshid=1czb62qn1r3j4
