Life has been busy. I ended up making the American River cross country team. I wasnt able to fully start training again until late september. My real first race back was in San francisco where i was the number 9 guy and ran a 22:15 for 4 miles, pretty slow for where I would have wanted to be.  I was on pace at the Santa Clara bronco inv. for a 26:36&#160;5 mile until I tried to go around a runner on a sharp turn and twisted my ankle pretty bad in the third mile, but still straggled a 27:15 finish. In the end I was the number 11 guy out of 25 on the team, not bad for someone who started out late. So my season finished at Conference, as my team moved on to ultimately win NorCals and Junior College State Championship. So those are my accomplishments. Now I have already taken my 2 weeks off, and really being gentle while I train myself through winter since I do not live near my college, and well, we all know my luck when i train myself, stress fracture and muscle strain haha. So yea, track season I am trying to go my first race in 1535-1550 for 5000. Its a pretty big range but thats what I want, plenty of rough so there is no feeling of disappointment.</p>http://runnerslife578.tumblr.com/post/37623807788http://runnerslife578.tumblr.com/post/37623807788Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:39:18 -0800<p>Sorry guys I have been super busy with school work, oh and I made the team so yea haha.
