Justin Hartshorn's running blog

Today we got home from our trip at like 8:30 at night, so I just ran than. I just ran around Alpine on the roads, it was pretty fun. I ran up to like the cove area than down by where you start off hogs. I didnt plan on going like 9 miles but my watch died in the middle of the run so I kinda just guessed on how long I was going.

Today we just ran on mountain run, and explored the cave. After we went and grabbed my gopro and took some photos. None were amazing but whatever, than on the way back we were going pretty fast on Alpine Highway.

Today we went down to AF high school, than went back. There were a few new people that came today, after we had weight training. It wasnt super had but it was pretty good.

Today we ran in the morning, it was pretty fun and we were going decently fast. All we did is go on the canal for the run. My stomach was hurting for most of the run, but it was good because we dont have to spend a ton of time after school.

Today we had a sick snowball fight, our team won. But than we only did 3 miles because we had streangth training afterwards. We did a ton of pullups.

Today it was only Chris, Jake Bybee, and me at practice in the morning. Jake turned around at 2.5 so me and Chris just ran throught alpine. It was pretty fun, we just went up to the fountain of youth than down on alpine highway.

didnt run today, because I went snowboarding all day, It was fun.

Today was a wonderous day, we went up on bonniville in the snow. It was pretty slippery and some spots were muddy. It was tough because we were going decently fast for the slippery snow, I went like 6:38 pace for some of it. Than we just went back to the school but we decided that we were going to do a 400m speedwalking time trial so we did. I won with a 1:37 which we had Will start us and check if we were cheating or not, it was pretty tough because there was some snow still on the track still. After some strides

8 miles this morning at 5:45, it kinda sucked because it was so cold. But I did get some iceicles on my eyelashis. We met at legicy today and just ran up by slideing rock.

Today was a good 2 games of tag than after we just did golf course, and we did a good workout of streangth training. overall a good day.

Today we went up in Alpine and we did a loop, than we came down and went on the road oppisite from alpine highway.

Today we ran at 5:45 at the shchool. Coach wanted us to just go on the canal so we did. It was pretty fun we were going a decent pace the whole time. The trail was nice because it was just like a inch of fresh powder.

Today was a good time, I got picked up by galen at like 7:30 than we went down to BYU and we saw craik and his family when we were on the way down there. We went and put our stuff up in the bleechers than went and got ready for the mile. We didnt have really a big warm up, but it was fine. Me and craik got put into the 8th heat it was the 3rd fastest heat of the day. And I was seeded second in the heat, which I thought was reasonable. I watched heat 7 and I saw that Brennan Benson got 4:43 so I wanted to beat that because my goal was to be the first sophemore. I got on the line and the gun went off I kinda just hung around the front for the first 4 laps, Than on the last lap I knew that I would just have to kick hard and be fine. So I had a good kick and passed Austin Hinkley and Ethan feild. And finished in first, it was fun, than we watched Galen and Zach run their mile. They did good, and Patrick had a really good kick. It turned out that Craik got disqualified, like how I did last year. After we cooled down for a little and had a race around the pato pond.

Today we met in the morning, we went up to the top of rodeo. Then went down on rodeo which was really fun, the snow is really deep though so we didn't go really fast. When we got back we did a little extra. Really fun run though .

 We went down to discovery Park today. We were going decently fast the whole time down. My knee was kind of bothering me yesterday, but I feel much better today. We also got a Tony' we also got a  ton of sticky notes and gave them out to people on the run.

alpine loop

indoor tag

ran in the morining on the canal, it was a good time

Just a good run up in alpine today, not to fast nor slow. After we got back we went and did some strides. Overall it was fun tho, I didnt run on saturday because I was camping, and yesterday I had a cold and didnt want it to get worse.

Good run today, we just ran down to AF high school through art die. Than ran around the track. After that we went over to AF jr and ran a lap around their track. Next we went to Mountain ridge and ran a lap than went inside and looked at Galen, Seth and Patrick Parkers, records on the wall. Than back to lone peak where we did a lap, Overall it was fun.

Ran up in alpine again, my legs were a little sore from yesterday but they weren't to bad. Overall it was fun, some of the guys went and got some kiddie cones at Arctic circle.

Today was the 4x800, but we went up early so we could watch the mile. It was a pretty sick mile to watch, after we just sat around for a few miles, than we got ready for out race, we went for a few miles than got ready. Jamison started, than Galen, Me and Zack was the anchor. Jamison got started he did good, than galen he also did good. I did pretty decent and got like 2:05. Than handed it off to zack, Talon was catching up to him and at the very end talon passed hime, but zack put in a last push and barely passed talon. than a 2 mile cool down, overall it was a good time.

We got to the meet pretty early, so we just sat around watching the races. But than it was our turn to race, Jamison and Galens race was first. They did well and both got 9:38. Than it was my turn to race, my plan was just to stay with thomas heaps the whole time. And my coach told me just to hang back till the last lap, so thats what I did. The race started pretty good, than we just got settled in and hit 4:55 so our splits were pretty even for both the miles. I kinda felt crappy in the middle of the race, but I have been fighting a cold lately. Then on the last lap Matt Ward from davis took the lead and started pushing the pace, but I just stayed in kicking range of him and Thomas. Than I kicked it in like the last 220 and passed Thomas and Matt, but I heard someone coming up on me so I looked back once and it was Thomas. And he was slightly gaining on me, he passed me the last little bit and barely beat me, and we both finished 9:49. I guess I just cant keep up with his long legs. But overall it was a good time, and I PRed by like 10 sec so thats good. After we went on a cool down with Joe and WIll from timp

Today we Did a few games of indoor tag, after that we did some streangth training. The streangth training wasnt too bad but I will be sore for the next few days. Than after streangth training we went and did a spin bike workout, which was pretty fun/hard. Finaly we did 1 mile around the school.

Today we ran up to timp cave, on the way up it was really nice and me and Jamison went decently fast, than on the way down about a mile from the bottom. It got really windy, and super cold. My hands were freezing, but luckily I had my beanie. I think it was still fun tho because I haven done canyon in forever.

Today we just did a modest run, it was really cold but still really fun, I didnt get cought both of the games. And I made a sick ice wall. After I just went to young mens and played a good game of basketball. While we were playing tag, we saw this sick fox that bolted out in front of us he was pretty fast.

Alpine run today, the snow was kinda sucky but thats ok. We took a ton of breaks tho, kinda like we always do on Alpine. On the way back we were going decently fast like normal, than Craik, Spencer, and Me went and grabbed a courtisy cone at arctic circle. Which was pretty good and didnt really affect the rest of the run. Then afterwards me and my brothers and a few friends, went and played a few good games of basket ball.

Today the run was pretty sick, trevor drove us up to legacy park today. And we ran down to black trail, than went to the river bed where we did a over under run in the snow. Some parts the snow was super deep and we jumped off the bridges into it. Even tho it was really cold and we were going super slow, and my stomach hurt the enitre run, it was still super fun.

Didnt run today, my stomach was hurting really bad last night. And I had a fever, so im taking a break for a few days.

Today was a good run down to discovery park, we were going fast the whole time. A average of like sub 6 min pace. Than on the way up we were going a little easyer, we kinda sprinted up this hill. Which kinda made my legs feel a little weird for the rest of the run. But still fun overall, average 6:10.

Ran in the morning today, we went around alpine. I thought it was a pretty good time, I kinda like running in the mornings. Even tho its cold its still good, because you dont have to go to practice after school. 

Today was our first workout of the year, which was 4 two minute tempos on the canal. I felt good for them, and am pretty exited for workouts this season. After we went to the pole, and put a tree in it.

Today we ran down to american fork, than did a few laps on their track. After that we went back and saw them running and ran with them for like a mile. Than went back to the school and did some strides. My calves were really sore.

Today was the distance challenge, we met at the school at 3:30 and went up to the race. We got there and sat around for a little, than warmed up. Than we got put into our heats, I went into heat 2 because I thought it would be good for me. I kinda got stuck in the back around the first corner. Than passed a lot of people and got set up. And stayed about 3-5th place the whole race but the last 300 meters I got passed by Joe  Simmons and grant gardner. And my legs were dead, I usually have a pretty good kick. But my calfs were burning and I couldnt get up to my normal speed. And Joe put like 2 seconds on me. But overall im still really happy with my race, because I PRed by 4 seconds. And it was a really fun time.

Today we went up to by the start of Hogs but than it got to snowy so we went over to lambert and just did 4 mile loop. Overall it was a good time.

Today I ran by myself because I missed when everyone else started practice. So I went up to lambert park, and I ran around up there. Than came back down and went down by the spinny park. Than back up to my house.

We went running in the morning today, well only Jamison, Coach and I. We went and ran on the roads down to lone peak from the park. Than over by where coaches house is than back to the park.

Radventure run today, we went on the usual route and than we went on the canal and finaly we went over to Art Die park. After we were suppost to do streangth training but we just are going to do it at home.

Today was a good workout on the canal, we did 4 by two min reapeats again. But this time we went the other way. I felt decent but the 3rd was by far the worst. Overall a good workout even tho I didnt feel the best.

A good game of tag, than down past american fork and back. I was the only one in the game of tag that didnt get cought.

Ran down to Lehi dip for the first time today. Overall it was really fun and I had a good time, on the way back we were crusing. Going 6 min pace for a while. Coach ran with us today.

Today we did tag, it was pretty fun and I felt decent. Before tag we went during lunch for 3 miles again. After we did some strides on the grass for the first time this year, it felt really amazing. And I won the sprint. Afterwards me and my friend dallin ran to the mountain than we hiked like halfway up this one.

Today we did alpine run, craik was being really weird the whole time. We didnt go really fast, but im greatfull for that because my legs hurt really bad from hiking yesterday. Than afterwards we did some strides to help galen with his photography class.

Really fun run up in alpine today. We first went up to lambert park and did some trails over there, than we went over and found this trail that led up to this sick outlook. After that we just explored are way back to sliding rock. Right before sliding rock I was running down this snow that was ice on the top. Than I fell through and cut up my legs and faceplanted. It was still really fun tho.

Today was the time trial 400, we went on a warmup and met at the track than waited for a little for the sprinters to finish their 100s. After that we went and did a warm up 400m which we crossed at like a 68, after that we got split up into heats. pretty much the fast heat was varsity. And I got put in the 6th lane which kinda sucks because I didnt have anyone to chase after. But I got out pretty fast than heavy floated till 150m to go and kicked it in. Craik was coming up on the left of me and he almost tripped but he cought himself and we sprinted it in. I got 55 which is a new pr so im happy. After we did a 800 time was 2:17

Good 9 miles on the canal today at 6 in the morning. It felt pretty good, later I went up to sliding rock for a little, and ran down the road up to it.

Ran the couch run today, this time the girls came. It was still really cool and fun.

Good workout today which was 800, 600, 400, 800, 600, 400. I was feeling pretty tired today but I still hit good times.

Workout today, 6x800s I kept it anywhere from 2:20-2:24. Overall it was a good time.

alpine run today, just me Craik and Josh today. Alpine is one of my favorite runs. Going decently fast on the way back.

we did hogs hollow today for the first time this year, I forgot how much fun hogs was. We kept a decent pace the whole time up and than when we were going down there was lots of snow that was hard ice on the top and you would break through it. Than on the way back, the 2nd to last mile we were going 5:35 pace than the last one me Craik and Jamison did a good sub 5 mile we were around 4:55

Workout today, it was 1200, 800, 800, 400, 400, 400. I felt good for pretty much most of it, my last 4 my legs just couldnt move any faster. But it was still a good time. My splits were 3:37, 2:21, 2:22, 66, 65, 65.

Good run up on bonneville and after we did some strides, I felt good pretty much the whole time.

Lone Peak vs Lehi dual meet today, coach wanted us to do 2 events. One of them not as hard and than the other one race it. So I choose to do the mile not as hard and than the 800 full out. We talked to the lehi guys for a little bit and than I went and had a nap. After my nap we did a warm up for the mile, which we just went to the pole and back. I wasnt feeling very good but I still felt fine. Than we got on the line and did a good 4:40 mile. And in the middle I did a swim move in bettween two lehi guys. Than I just stuck behind jamison and finished in second. After we did two miles to keep our legs warm, and we did the 800. I was a little nervous but not to bad just because it was a dual meet. We got on the line, and started. I got of to a pretty bad start, but than I followed collin from lehi up to the front. And the rest of the race I was kinda just trying to stay right behind him. And I finished in 3rd behind jamison and collin. Both my laps were 60s, so I finished at 2:00 flat. So super close to breaking 2 but im still happy about it because its a 5 sec pr.

good mileage up in alpine, we went on mountain run than down to the middle of alpine. After that just back to hidden oaks to ice bath.

Did a tempo on the canal today, we did 4, 2 min at a pretty fast pace. I dont really like running on the canal

Today was the lone peak pi mile, me and craik went so we could get some extra credit in our math class. Also it counted for attendence school credit. And the first three finishers for both boys and girls got pie. Overall it was a good time, we pretty much held a steady pace for the whole time. And at like mile 2 me and craik started getting a little gap on caleb and will. And like 400m to go we started going a little faster. We also decided that we would tie for the win, just for a good time. So me and craik tied and caleb got 3rd. After the race we did 5 miles down to AF and back. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday.

Good workout today, we did 11x400m reapeats I felt pretty decent and hit 65-68 the whole time which I am happy about.

Today we did mountain run than down into alpine, it was a good time.

Didn't race today, my stomach was hurting really bad throught the whole day. I hope it will be feeling better by friday.

Got new shoes yesterday also, those are pretty dope. Today we just went down to AF and back. Once we got down there, there was a track meet going on. So we just had a good time watching the mile. The kid that won looked like Joe Simmons. They also painted the poles more yellow on the trail. My stomach hurt a little today but it felt lots better than yesterday.

 Today was the mountain valley invite. I didn't really feel good when we got there  but I still raced.I did the mile first, didn't feel good at all. It took it out too fast because Hayden Penrod lead the first lap out at 62, and I hit 65.  Then it just went downhill from there, and I finished in 4:38.  I'm guessing it's probably just because I've been sick and  The bad weather didn't help either.  Then we sat around on for a little,  and Seth let me sleep in his hammock.  After I took a nap in the hammock I felt lots better  and me and Josh went on a warm-up so we could do the sprint medley.  In the sprint medley we got out to a really bad start and went straight to last on the first two legs then it was my turn for the 400, which I passed three people, and split 54. After that it was Josh's turn in for the passed two people and we ended up getting 3rd  which was pretty sick. Than we watched Zack qualify for state in the two mile so shoutout to him.

Hi, today I did 10 miles up to the top of rodeo and down middle spring. Alex started the run with me than turned back at 1.5. The beginning of the run I was going pretty slow and it was kinda hard. But than I warmed up and I ended up going decently fast for most the run. On mountain run I was going 6:20 pace than my last mile I did a 5:40. Today im feeling better than yesterday. 

Good run today, we went up to bonniville and did that on the way there, than on the way back we did backwoods bonniville it was a good time and we havent done that run so it was nice to do that again.

Really good workout today, we did 12x400s with 90 sec rest. Also we were suppost to do 5 at a good 67 than the next 7 just do faster I hit 67, 67, 66, 67, 67, 64, 65, 65, 65, 64, 66, 62. It was just the varsity guys today, exept for Josh. All the rest of the team had to go to the Lehi, Lone Peak, AF, tri meet. The whole  team looked really good and im getting exited for the weeks to come.

Today was a good game of modesty. In the middle trevor broke his ankle, which I felt really bad about. After we did like 3 miles to finish up mileage.

Good easy workout today, we just did 600, 400, 200, 600, 400, 200. I split 1:40, 65, 29, 1:41, 62, 28. I felt good, and galen felt better also which is good.

Zack and Seths 5 mile loop today, twass a good time. After I had to help lift some stuff at my dads office today. I hope that doesnt wreak my race tommorow.  But I did win 2 games of 7 on the line at practice today so maybe the winning mentality will affect me tommorow.

Not the best race today, but thats ok. The race went out really slow for the first two laps, Like 4:40 pace. Than I picked it up on the 3 rd lap, and I felt good. But than the last 200 I could not move any faster. I think I actually slowed down, because collin morrison passed me the last 100 and put 4 seconds on me. Im pretty sure it was from lifting all the stuf yesterday. Also courtney always says the last 100 is all your arms. And my arms were really sore so im going to believe her now.

Good workout today, I was decently sore from sat. I also got a cold on sunday which sucks. But today we did 600, 400, 600, 400, 600, 400, 600, 400. I didnt feel very good on the middle ones but I felt really good the last 3. After we went down and ice bathed  in the river which was really cold but it was a good time.

Really fun run today, we went and did trails in lambert. Did spring than on the way down we did middle spring. Me and craik were going faster down middle. Also we found a wild chicken and I cought it. Also on the way back we saw a ton of ravens in this tree and they were huge. After practice we went over to the ericksens and had breakfast and played ping pong.

Workout today, the people that we going to arcadia did 8x400s I hit 68, 68, 66, 65, 64, 64, 62, 61.  I felt pretty good. After we went down to the pond and iced in it, with the patos.

Good run today on black trail and back, getting exited for arcadia.

Not a terrible race today, but I definatally didnt run smart. I ran a 60 first 400 than dropped to 68, than my last two laps were both like 70s. I didnt really want to race that way.

Today we woke up in the morning and did 5 miles with courtany, it was fun exploring trails around california. Courtanys parents house is really nice and has a awesome infinity pool. Also they have these things called cumquats which are really good. We got to the race and did a 2.5 mile warm up than watched all the two miles Jamison, Zack, and Galen did good. Zack got 2 in his heat and had a good last two laps. Jamison got third and had a good kick.

Good milage up on bonniville. After we got back we got to be in charge of the annual mountain ridge, timberline meet. I was one of the timers, which was really fun. Than it was time for the 2nd annual crab walking 100m. This year there was many athleats, and some kid from timberline thought it was a actuall event and came to race it with us. I first timed the womans 100m. And there was a new womans school record set of 1:20. And Aubrey got some really bad blisters on her hand. Than it was time for the mens race, which was really intense because we had a new school record with 48, and a potentional new world record, at least thats what we know. Than zack was in second with 62, which would have set the school record anyways.

Hard workout today, didnt feel very good. We did 1200, 1200, 800, 800, 400, 400. I split like 3:30, than 3:38, for the 800s i hit 2:24, and 2:29. Coach said do one more 400, so I thought it was the last one. So I hit 63, than he told us to do one more and I got 65.

Did alpine loop with, connor baller, tyler penrod, and jared. And most of the varsity guys. Overall it was a good time, on the way back we got some kiddy cones from arctic circle.

Good run today down to AF, than a few laps around their track. After that we went up and did golf course.

Easy pre workout run, it was really windy today so thats going to suck for those who are racing.

Today was Utah county invite, we got to the race and sat around for a little. Than warmed up for 2 miles. Than got ready and on the line. We started and took out the first lap staying with the group by the third place dude, than after the first two laps I realized that we were going out a little fast, which I have done like my last 4 races went out at 2:18 than I dropped off of that group a little and crossed the mile in 4:50. After that I was just trying to stick with the person in front of me, which was not very smart because he dropped off of pace fast, and than brennen and gabe from timpanogos caught us so I just stayed behind them and finished in 9:55. Not the smartest race by me. I need to learn to run my own race, and not to just stick behind people and go with them. After that we were in the 4x400. The wind picked up alot and it was really cold, I got 56.

good run today up on backwood bonniville, a good amount of hills but thats ok. Also Galen and Will put a note in this one dudes car that they know.

Workout today, we did 400, 600, 800, 400, 600, 800. I felt good throught all of them. My times were 64, 1:42, 2:22, 66, 1:43, 2:19. Not a bad workout, also in the open mile on saterday, and im ready to pr. Also after we went and ice bathed at the bottom of the canyon. And when we got there we saw that there was two fish in the river. So i tryed to catch both of them with my bare hands. I grabbed the first one on the tail and it swam into this pipe that we dont know where it goes so im just going to say I killed it. Than the second one I grabbed by the head more and it got out. But later I was touching it with my feet and it didnt move which was weird.

Good time today, we went down to AF and watched a soccer game, than we went back up to lone peak and did some good Mileage. Also I practiced my long jump and got 15

workout today, it was 8x400m, with 90 sec break I hit 65, 64. 64, 64, 64 ,64, 64, 62. Overall it was a good workout and I felt good

Good pre race run today, just did tramp run on to canal,  Jonas  caught a snake and threw it in the river. But we saved it and put it back with his 4 other friends. Did some strides after the run.

Not a bad race today, I think that I raced smart. I usually just try to gauge off of people when I race. So I just stuck behind Ryan raff the whole time. Than I passed him the last 100 but he passed me back. The top 6 people in our heat were all within 1 second. Even though I didn't PR, I still felt good and like I was able to go even faster, also the weather wasn't great, it was decently windy and it started to rain in the middle of our race. Also my shoe lace got untied in the middle of the race, and was about to fall off. After that I sat around in my hammock for like 4 hrs than I went and walked around and watched the other races. I was a alternate in the invited 4x400. And our team really sucked and we're not suppose to be in that race. Jackson  McChesney took it out too hard than died and walked the last 10m. It was kinda funny, I don't know what my time was, but I don't think it was that bad at all. Than I went on a cool down for like a mile with Jamison, Galen, Zack, and Joe Bensen. Also shoutout to Zack for almost winning the 2 mile.

Just a good time on alpine run, we had to go register for classes so we went home instead of strides

Today we played a really good game of basketball to start off, than we did boniville. Which it was really rainy so there were puddles everywhere so I was just jumping in them and stuff, than my jacket got really wet and weighed like 10 pounds. Overall it was a good time tho

workout today, 12x400m repeats with 90s rest. My times were 67, 67, 66, 67, 64, 65, 64, 64, 62, 63, 63, 61. I felt pretty good, even though I only got 5 hrs of sleep last night. Which kinda sucks. After we did golf course backwards which was fun.

Alpine

Good pre race day down to af and back

Awesome race today, felt great. Didnt go through the mile to hard at all, went like 4:53. Than on my last mile got a 4:50. Which felt really good. I felt strong today and qualified to go to BYU.

Tough workout today. we did 600, 400, 600, 400, 600, 400, 400, 400. We were suppost to do them pretty fast. Like 65 than hold that on the 600. Than on the 400 we were suppost to do 62. Which is pretty fast.

Good run today, we did a radventure run. We kinda just ran to this park and played this game of fish out of water for like 30 mins. Overall it was a good time tho

Pre race run today, me and Jamiosn just went to the canyon and back. than we just went back to the school and did some strides.

Not my best race today, I took out the mile to fast so I went 4:43, than 5:05. Which I was feeling good the first mile, than on the 6th lap. My legs died and it was terrible from than on. I finished and pretty much had to be carried in. Also the lady said that my eyes were like rolling into the back of my head. Which isnt very good. Than I went and laid on the ground for like 30 mins, I ended up trowing up twice. Than I drank 2 large poweraids and felt much better. After I went on a 2 mile cooldown with my little brother Jaron.

Awesome race today, I got to the meet and kinda actually didnt want to race. Because my legs were really sore and I was pretty tired. But coach just told me to go and do whatever I could. We got into are heats and hung around for a little just keeping warm. Than The race started, I really didnt know what my plan was for the race. But I just hung around in like the middle of the pack till the last lap. The last lap I cought up to ethan feild and galen and passed them and finished my last lap in a 62. The last 50 I was kinda just looking at the clock to see what my time was going to be. Which I should have been focusing on sprinting harder, but I am still really happy with my race. I got a 7 sec PR and was sooooo close to qualifying for state. Just .2 sec off. After we went on a 4 mile cool down, which I threw up 3 times on, which kinda sucks. now im just looking forward to region where I am pretty sure I can qualify.

Nice and short speed workout today before region. Just 4, 3, 2, 4, 3, 2. Was feeling pretty good and hit the times on all of them. Times were 59, 45, 28, 59, 45, 28. Fun stuff overall.

Good run today just to the canyon and back. Afterwards, we did strides and than went to the gym to go play a few good games of 7 on the line. After that we just stayed at the school and had the bbq

Region today, went home before the meet started and played clash royale for a little. Than Craik and Bessie came and picked me up. Went down there and sat around for like 5 mins. Than just went on a warm up to the pole and back. Than we got on the line, I was seeded first which I kinda liked because I got out good. Than for the first 1200 I just stuck behind the westlake dudes. After that Galen took the lead, came through the mile in 4:55 than the next lap I took the lead. Than it started getting faster and faster after Adam wood took the leak. Than the last 50 meters Luke from westlake passed me, so I finished in 3rd and me and Galen both qualified for state. So our last mile was 4:45 and I PRed which was good.

Good race today, went right after school and just hung around for a little. Than once everyone got there that were running the mile we went on a warm up. I think we went to the pole and back. Than we just came back and did strides and stuff. Than we got on the line. I was seeded first again because of my mile at BYU that I was off by state qualifying by .2 sec. So I got of to a good start and went immidiatally into 3rd, behind thomas heaps and Jamison. Than for the rest of the race I just stuck behind Jamison. Than the last 100 he pulled ahead a little, but I still qualifed by time and I got second so by place also. After I went on a cool down for 3.5 miles than another 2 with Zack, and Will. Barefoot. After the meet my mom gave us money to go and buy snowcones. It was a good time.

Fun run today, just went up to the park on bonniville than came down and iced in the river by the elementary school.

Went on a sick campout in Capital Reef national park. I couldnt fall asleep till 2 so I decided that I would not run in the morning, we went on a few hikes and I ran alot of the way on them. So im counting that as mileage. I didnt get home till 8:30, and I was super tired so I just didnt run than.

Felt tired today, I dont know why but I dont like it. We just did Alpine and cut it short. After I went to the Alpine Elementary Carnival which I helped out with for like 3 hrs, it was a good time.

Good run.  Warm up then 400 300 200 400 300 200.  Hit 61, 44, 27 61 45 29.  Feeling ready to kill it at state. 

Good tapering run today

Good old time did pole and than we just did golf course afterwards

Not a bad race today, I just got stuck in the back of the pack. Tryed to go on the outside and than Adam Wood cut me off but Still I didnt have the worst race.

Not my best race but I was kinda just done with racing, we got there and did some warmup than got to the bowl pin. They let us keep warm because it was pretty cold and raining. It wasnt that bad of a race I felt really good the whole time I just didnt do what I wanted to do. After our race we just watched all the races of the day also shoutout to Ali Bybee for winning state as a freshman, and putting 3 seconds on everyone in the last 200.

Biked for the first time this year, just went on rodeo it was a good time.

Root beer mile today, we started off by helping will get all the 144 cans of root beer to the track. Than people started showing up, first it was Joe Bensen than Ryan Raff and a few people from lehi, than just a ton of PG guys and Eugene from Unitah. After coach got there and most everyone else we got ready to start. I did a few strides than got my cans, for those who dont know what a root beer mile is, you drink a root beer than run a lap. And you do that 4 times, I decided to do Barq's Root beer first than my other 3 laps the A&W. We got Milsplits snapchat and we put Ryan in charge of it. Than all 30 of the racers got on the line and started, Eugene was good at drinking and he got out fast. And I started out right behind him, next to craik. Then I passed him at about the 200 and took the lead, than drank the next one down but Eugene was ahead of me again because he was so fast at the drinking. I passed him at about the same point than I tried to get my third one down faster. Than that was when my stomach started hurting, I got done with my 3rd lap and on my 4th soda I threw up with a mouthfull of soda which actually I think helped. And if I would have ran a 65 last lap I could have broken the LP record but I puked coming in on the last corner, but I still finished. I got a dope trophy and was only 6 sec from the record which is awesome. I puked 5 times after my race, but it was worth it.

Today was the first day out week long, we are at zions ponderosa which is where Ragnar was held. It's a good time a we just ran on a good Ragnar loop today.

Today I went on the ragnar yellow loop it was a good time.

This morning at 12:00 AM was the LPN4, I felt that I was going to do pretty good. Just because I like racing 400s so we got to the track and warmed up. Than I put my spikes on and did some strides, I felt good, we got to the line and I counted down from 3 and we took our clothes off. Than will said ready set go and we started sprinting, it felt weird at first than you got used to it. But you kinda just don't look at other people much. Than on the last 100 Galen and me were dueling it out for the win. But Galen  barely got me at the line. Than afterwards a mile cool down.

decent race today I was feeling kinda out of it because of my tailbone but still did decent

Hogs today, I decided I would take the summer off for my blog so  since school starting on Monday I decided that I would  start posting again 

Tough workout today.  It was also the first day we had run in the heat so that was tough.  I had a pretty solid workout, everyone else either dropped off hard or didn't do the full thing because of injury.  Did 1000 800 1000 800 800 800.  Hit 3:06 then 2:24 then 3:07 then 2:27 2:26 and 2:27.  It was on the grass.  On my watch when I set up the course I got .50 exact but when I did it as the workout I got .51-.53 so it was  little long, the 1000 was .65 for both so a little long.  

good run today just chill

Good hill workout today.  Tough because my body wasn't awake since we did it at 6:30 in the morning with our cross country class.  Went 1:59,1:57,1:56, 1:57, 1:58, 2:00.  Slower then I would have liked but still pretty happy with the effort that I was able to put in.  Team wasn't completely there, but we will be completely healthy soon! cooled down 2.5.
