Half-Marathon Results

Whole 13.1 Mile Time: 1:30:51

Mile 1: 6:15
(I had a good start and was in the top 10 place, 40% was up hill.)

Mile 2: 6:05
(This was down hill so this was pretty easy.)

Mile 3: 6:11
(A flat trail.)

Mile 4: 6:36
(More flat trails. Struggling to keep in the 10th place.)

Mile 5: 6:23
(More flat trails. This is where I became in the 12th place.)

Mile 6: 6:43
(A small up-road trail. I needed water at this point not stopping still running, grabbed some water from the people who passed them out.)

Mile 7: 7:07
(I relaxed at this mile thinking that I still had a long way. Having a few people pass me being in 15th.)

Mile 8: 7:32
(This is where it got embarrassing, I let a few more pass me. Continuing flat trails. Being in 25th.)

Mile 9: 7:49
(...and more people pass me. Being 33rd place.)

Mile 10: 6:47
(This is when I thought I can start running this trail like a Cross Country race with the relaxed energy. The course had some rolling hills.)

Mile 11: 7:28
(But I died, having a few people pass me, being in 37th.)

Mile 12: 7:58
(We entered the car dealership place letting me know I was almost there. Only two people passed me then being in 39th.)

Mile 13: 6:53
(I went hard on the last mile but not all out. Then, at the finish line, I passed those two guys being in 37th. )

Average Mile Time: 6:56

Note:
All the place times were based on prediction. I officially got in the 37th place which was the first paper posted, so I was pretty happy that I wasn't on the 2nd or 3rd. I do know that I was in the top 15th placer for the first 7 miles. Then died having a whole bunch of people pass me. It was really embarrassing. Haha.

I can't wait to run it again!

Going to Colorado? Whaaaat?

Alright, it's been awhile since my family has been discussing if we are going to move to Colorado. Reason for doing so is because of my dad's business.

Me? I'm fine with it. Even if it means being away from my girlfriend. I'm not sure what she thinks about it what she will think about it. And, I don't think she's the type of person to dump me while I'm gone. It's really hard for the both of us too. Things are going to be different for sure but, it's going to be for the best. There's nothing we can do about it. Change may be good. I really want to move too so I'm really eager. I mean, I've been living in the same place for all my life. It'd be nice to move somewhere else. Haha.

Now, this is the plan. My mom told me yesterday night that we might go up there. Her and I. Drive up there, stop by Las Vegas and hit the buffet, and drive all the way to Colorado. Reason being, so I can go to school up there as soon as I can. Cause college may or may not start early.

This will probably be nice because I'd be the first to pick out my own room!! Haha. I really hope so. I'm gonna have a couch, a plasma screen TV, my macbook, the Wii, my stereo, and all my art stuff in there. It's going to be fun. I love decorating my room and making it look nice. I wonder how they're going to fit my queen size bed in there. Haha.

So then after that my dad and my brothers will be going up there later.

Man, I'm really exited about this. Meeting new people, going to a new school, it's going to be really fun.

Also, in Colorado, it snows doesn't it? Living in Southern California it never snows!! It's always hot one season and just really cold during the winter. I'd like to see snow. Haha. But I hear it's a lot of work shoveling and scraping the snow. Speeking of work, I really need to get a job...

So yeah! Colorado. I really hope we're moving.

Opening

Hello! How are you! What's up! How's it goin'?

I'm just going to open up this Blog again. I feel like I have a lot to write about, so I'll just do it!
I usually write about whatever comes to my head, my ideas, my thoughts, but that's just being repetitive for whatever comes to my head. See! I'm writing whatever comes to my head!

Ummm...

New things? I dunno...

College? Yeah...it's fun I guess... I have assignments, tests, and essays thrown at me from all directions! It's so annoying! I'll get use to it I guess. I haven't been eating here cause I never had the time or the money. I usually use my money for gas.
I really need a job...I applied for Finish Line but I still haven't gotten a call. I still need to get an application for Big 5, Dicks Sporting Goods, and Barns and Nobles.

Cross Country...it's why my name is RunnerChris! Haha...

Well, this year we've been doing really bad lately...
I really need to get back in shape and season is already over! There's one jerk in the team! He used to be nice to me! and now he's just a jerk...whatever. Haha.
Soooo...it seems like I'm top 3 in my team from what all the guys say. Which is really exciting because it's out of 8 people! I want to be 1st so bad!! I was 1st in my High School Cross Country years but that's because I was in junior varsity. Man...I miss those days.

I miss those days in High School where I can hang out with my girlfriend, Alex all day and hang out with my buddies in Cross Country running those painful 12 mile workouts.
I'd always visit them though whenever I have my short days.

Alright! I'm going to practice right now. I'm at the schools computer lab. Bye for now!
