Had a bunch of homework last night so I had to skip morning practice this morning. In the afternoon I ran the 3200 at Snow Canyon. I was a little nervous because by calf/shin was hurting a little bit during school, but I started to jog on it and it felt fine. I did about a 3 mile warm up and then raced. I just wanted to qualify for state (9:58.22), but man that is a tough race! We crossed the 1600 at 5:00, pretty much right on pace, but the next mile was tough. I ended up going 9:59.00, so I just barely missed it. I think I could've fought just a little harder for that 1 second, so I was pretty bummed about that, but oh well. I think I did pretty good considering the 3200 isn't really my race and it was my first time ever running it. My calf felt fine so that was good. Then I went to the Thatcher's and Micah opened his mission call, he is going to Novosibirsk, Russia, which we found out is the coldest sufficiently populated city in the world!
