Justin Hartshorn's running blog

Hiked a good hike this morning down in St. George, than drove home. I went to ACT prep at the high school at 2:30 so i missed running with the team. So tonight at 10 I went running just in alpine. Did a loop up by lambert than went down to the middle of alpine. While I was up by the camels there was this red Ford Focus that drove past me, than turned around and grabbed something off the ground and went back up the road and said somthing to me. Than like 2 min later I saw this snowball hit the ground right next to me, it made me jump. Than right after that there was the ford focus. I grabbed a snowball and chased after them. But they were in a car so they kinda had a advantage. Than I tried  to follow where they went but that didnt work. So I gave up, so if anyone sees a red Ford Focus full of idiot teen feel free to throw snowballs at it.

Tonight me and Craik just ran together, we both had church ball games and he picked me up at my house and than we just went up to this church to run. We ran down past coaches house than just did a good loop. It wasnt too bad craik headed back early and I had to finish up mileage by myself.

Good workout today, we did 4x2min tempo. Me and craik left early because he had a ton of homework and I had ACT prep and a ton of homework. So we just went with my little brother Alex up by my house, we did the first three 2 min tempos at 4:53 pace than the last one at 4:45 pace. Craik and Me were both pretty tired today.

Today I ran by myself because it was the last day of ACT prep, so I ran at like 7:30 at night. It was a good time, I just went up by craiks house than over to like lambert area. While I was up there I heard a couple coyotes and it kinda scared me, than a couple ran across the street like 50 m in front of me. So I just turned around and went a different way.

Today was the Distance Challenge, we got there at like 4 and the girls started warming up. Then we just sat around till like 6. At 6 we did a good little mile warm up, than came back and went over to the start line. I got put in heat one, we got there earlyer than we should have because they had us just jog around for like 12 more mins. Than we started, I luckely got put in the first row which I was happy about. The gun went off and I got out pretty decently, my goal was to just stick with Zack the whole time. Which I pretty much did,  The first lap I was in like 6th than zack went a little faster so I followed him and the second lap I was in 4th, I stayed like 4th untill the last lap than I went into 3rd. But Heston Anderson passed me and ended up in front of me. But overall a good race to get me exited for the outdoor season. Afterwards we just went to Costa Vida and had a good old salad.

Good run this morning, didn't wake up so I just ran by myself but did the same loop the team did, it wasn't bad. Little tired from yesterday but felt fine.
