Justin Hartshorn's running blog

 Today was awesome, at the beginning of the run we were going up to bonneville because we thought we were going to do that. But insted we decided that we would go to where spencer saw the mountain lions. When we were about there we decided to go on this other trail. Jamison's lungs were bothering him, and Galen was just feeling sick. So it was just me Craik and Zach Ericksen.  So we ended up going on that trail till we hit the road and than went on a little bit of mountain run.  After that we went down healey, than went on this trail. that ended up on Alpine highway, we were going like 5.28 minute pace acording to craiks watch when were were coming down that. and than like 5.50 all the way back to the school. When we got back we did weight training.

today we did 6x600m hill reapeats. The first few I was just trying to stay with Galen, we did ok like 2:04 and 2:02.  Than the next few were slower like 2:06 than 2:10.  Which was the slowest, than after those two Galen stopped because he was still a little sick,  than on the  last one I got like a 2:06 again, but I was hurting. So coach had us stop exept for Jamison JR, Lill' Warner, and Zach.  After that we did a cool down we went by galens house so we got a ton of rocks and put a big XC on his driveway. Than went a few times around the school.  When I got home I did a little more.

Today we went up the canyon, me and Jamison JR stayed together for pritty much the whole time. We were going pritty fast. We went up to like Timp cave a back.

Today we did a 45 minute tempo pritty much.  It was suppost to be a 5 min warm up than a 45 min at 10k pace, but we decided that was to hard.  So we did a 45 minute at like a 5:58 pace, it was pritty hard but not that bad.  I probaly will be sore, but that just means I am getting stronger.  I felt good today, stayed up with little warner the whole time, jamison was right behind us.

Today was just an easy run, we ran up to this cool rock formation that looked fun.  When we got up there there was this awesome  pool of water that looked fun to jump in, we threw rocks in it.  Than we went to this cave that Galen told us about.  It was awesome it went back like 30 ft and there was a pad and a tent at the back.  Than we went back to the school where we did weight training. The weight training was long because we did ladders afterwards which sucked, i was probally the slowest on those. But I got some new shoes yesterday so I was exited about that

Today we did hogs backwards again. It was pritty terrible on the way up, but once we started to go down I felt pritty good. We were going lots faster than normal on the way down.
