Justin Hartshorn's running blog

Today we went on a easy run because we have the progression run tommarow.  At the start of the run we just went to the top of the art die trail and back, than we went back for streangth training but nobody showed up so we just did a little more milage around by Ridleys. Good run today felt good for tommarow.

Today was suppost to be the progression run. But there was a huge blizzard that covered up the track.  So we went into the spinny room, i like the spinny room.  Than I was going to go on a run with craik but he went to dinner.  So I went to lamburt by myself.  I only did 4 miles the last one was like a 5:39.

Today was a couple games of tag. Than we did a run down to AF highschool and back. Than afterwards we did strides, the last one was a race.  Shoutout to Jamison JR for reffing my little brothers basketball game.

today was  "a good time" - Galen, today was time trials for the whole track team. Coach wanted us to do the 400 so we did a easy warm up around golf course.  Than we went into our heats, courtiny wanted me in a faster heat, wich I was gratefull for.  I ran a 57, it was fun and a new PR for me. I was suprised because of how good all the distance people did.  Afterwards we did a little workout we did 800, 400, 800, 400. It wasnt two bad I thought I did well I got 2:20, 66, 2:23 ,65. Than we went on a cool down and Iced bath.

Today we went on the mountain run and I shot craik in the foot with a bbgun, and he almost killed me.

Today was awesome we did hogs forewards. Which was probaly a good thing because on the way down it was really snowy.  When we got back Josh Christensen was just waiting there with breakfast. It was really good, we made pancakes with chocolate chips in them.  Than we found this dog named puter and we fed him bacon I think he liked us.  

Today I went running by myself, because I missed practice.  I thought it was at 8 but it was really at 7.  So I went running at like 12,  I did what the others did which was Extended mountain run, but I did it backwards from my house.  I did it in like 53 min and the last mile was like a 5:30 pace.  When ever I run by myself I always go fast like the last mile, because I dont feel like I go fast enough on the rest of the run.  Afterwards I didnt do streangth training because I didnt feel like it.

Today we went to Lehi for the Dual meet. At first we just laid down, than we started warming up, my ankle was bothering me but it was fine afterall.  Than I did the mile, I asked galen to pace me because he wanted to run the 400 but coach said no.  So he paced me, the first lap I felt pritty good same with the second.  Than on the third I kinda fell back but than I caught up closer on the last lap.  I ended up at 4:47 Than we did a cool down than another warm up for the 800m, I wasnt feeling that great but coach told me if I got a 2:10 than he would let me not do the workout.  So I still tried, the first little bit I went out pritty slow than I speed up a little.  The last like 100m I out kicked josh C but I got one sec of what coach told me to get I got 2:11.  Shout out to Galen for Paceing me and Shoutout to Jamison for beating Galen and Zach.

Today we Just did a few games of tag, the first one I was like the first one tagged which sucked but I got a few people afterwards.  After tag we just did the original golf course, than strides but a different way that was longer I thougt

Today was a workout we had to wait for josh so we started at like 3.  We warmed up around the golf course than we went back to the school and started our workout.  It was a 800, 600, 400, 800, 600, 400. I felt okay on it but not really the second 800.  After that we did a cooldown on the golf course again.  We also talked about the cougar relay meet on saterday.

Today was just a easy run, because we have a meet tommarow.  We just did mountain run and on the way back we were going pritty fast like 6 min pace. Than afterwards we did strides on the football field it was fun.

Today was the Cougar relays at Kerns highschool.  I woke up at like 7 and that is when we were suppost to be at the High school.  So I had my mom drive me up to kerns, when we got there it was pritty cold so me galen zach and Josh went inside. they have a pritty cool school they had a hall of fame and a palm tree in there.  Than we went outside and went to their baseball stadium.  Their baseball stadium is like a college stadium it has bleechers with a roof over top and a super nice feild. Than we went on a warm up down the street and back. We were going to have Lill' Warner be part of our 4xmile and our DMR team.  But he didnt show up so Josh subsituded in for him, we had a pritty good 4xmile they had everyone go all at once witch is weird, when we started I got a good start than my foot got knicked on my foot than I tripped, so we had to restart, Josh said that the dude that tripped me almost stepped on my head.  Zach got 3rd place and Galen got 4th place, I was a few people behind them, i ended up getting a 4:49 which is pritty good considering I tripped and it was super windy.  Than Josh was a few people behind me.  We ended up getting second and Olympus got first and we both broke the meet record.  After that we did the DMR we had Jamison JR in our team because coach made him do the SMR so he wasnt in our 4xmile team.  We had a pritty good start Zach got a pritty good lead for us, than Galen did good on his 400m and got us even a bigger lead.  Than it was my turn I ran the 800m for us my leg was kinda hurting me because of my fall. Since there was a good lead already I knew that I was going to have to run by myself.  The first lap I was going at a good pace than on the second lap I tried to go faster at the end but it was super windy so It was pritty hard I finished at a okay time I got like 2:13 and opend up even a bigger lead for Jamison.  Jamison was pritty tired because he just ran a good 800, Jamison was doing okay but nobody was shouting out his times so it was hard for him, the dude in second was catching up to him but jamison held him off.  We ended up winning and we were super close to the meet record.  After the meet I ran down to the junction in the middle of alpine with my little brother than a little more.

Today was just four 1000m and one 800m, felt okay today the first one like a 3:05 I forgot the rest but I slowly got slower throught them.

Today was just a normal run we ended up doing bonneville. but we found this massive hill, and we were determined to go up it so we did. when we got to the top we saw tons of trails. So we picked one that looked fun and ran on it we called it backwood bonneville.

Today we did a workout of just 8x400m I felt really good even though I didnt get to do a warm up, my splits were in between 67sec and 69sec every time.  My first 400 workout that was all under 70. I wanted to do nine with Jamison JR, Zach, Lill' Warner, and Galen.  But coach woulnt let me. Afterwards we were in charge of the meet so I helped time, and I brought results to this one lady. It was fun.  Also got the School record for the 50m Bear Jump, even though everyone says its not a thing.

Today was a adventure, we did bonneville again but this time we were suppost to do a shorter distance because we have a meet tommarow.  Its at provo, I wanted to run the 2 mile but coach wont let me so I am just running the mile and maybie the 800m.  We explored a cave today, but it was more of a out cropping so we asked the expert at out crppings, which is Kraig/Craig/Jamison FR/Craik.  He gave it a C + which isnt bad.

Today was the Mountain valley invite.  When we got to Provo high school the first thing we did was we found this awesome spot than we went and explored the school.  After that we kinda played a game a risk, than we went on a warm up for the mile.  I was in the fast heat which I was exited about,  Jamison and Zach told me that if I was to score in any meet it could probaly be this one so I was pritty exited.  After the warm up we went to the bowl pin.  Than we started our race coach told me to pace off of other people the first lap, and than he said I could go faster.  So I just tried to stay in the top 8 and I did that.  Than after I learned that I got at least a 4:41 because thats what my dad got.  Than we did the 800 It was awesome I got 8th place with a new pr of 2:08.  After the 800 me and josh just hung around and did random stuff.  Than we took off our shoes and ran around and did some hurtles we also threw a shot put I got like 6 ft with a girls.  Than we took pictures of Galen Jamison and Zachs awesome 2 mile.  Zach got first Jamison got 2nd and Galen got 4th.  Shoutout to Zach Galen and Jamison who took their last lap out all under 65 sec and shoutout to all those who broke 5.

Today we did this awesome run called middle spring it went up to the top of rodeo where I got a drink from the spring.  It was just me Galen, Spencer and Steven.  When we were going down we kinda lost Spencer and Steven.  Than me and Galen went on this trail that led us to the mountain run, I fell on the way up.  Than we went by my house and down like the normal extended mountain run. we were going pritty fast on the way down.

Today was a good old workout of 5x800.  I was feeling okay the first few, but than my stomach started hurting because I had like some cheese fries and some chicken nuggets for lunch.  Afterwards we did a cooldown around golf course.

Modest run today it was fun. Than afterwards we did strides

Backwoods bonneville today it was a good time.  It was also Jamisons first time running on this run.

Today was a awesome workout, It was a 8x400.  I felt really good because I had a awesome lunch.  Coach said that we need to be hitting like one second faster than our mile pace which for me that would be 71 for me.  But I always go faster so I went 65-69 sec on each of the 400s.

Today was a good run, we went up to legacy park and we did the 5 mile loop which is really like 5.7 miles.  on the way back we were going pritty fast, afterwards we did some strides.

Today was the UVU meet, it was good. I felt like I could have gone a little faster on the middle two laps because those were like 71s.  Than on the last lap I got like a 66.  but I still PRed.  Shoutout to Zack for qualifying for state with a 9:34.  Afterwards I went on this awesome bikeride, me and my brother and my friend.  We went up to rodio and down.

Today we did a run up in alpine, we first went on alpine highway than went up to mountain run and did it backwards to the school.  Than we ran barefoot on the grass, than strides. Afterwards we waited 45 min for streangth training that we never had but we had a good time bathing in the sun and sun tanning. I got sunburnt
