3 in the morning. Early out in the afternoon so that was great. 6.5 miles after school, my calf was pretty tight.

3 in the morning. In the afternoon I was going to do 8-12x400s in spikes at 3200 pace to get ready for Thursday but I only did 4 because my calf was really starting to hurt, so I just got back into my trainers and jogged around the track until the other guys finished up. Pretty frustrating to have to drop out of a workout when I've been healthy all season, but I'd rather ease it back a little bit than make it worse and have to be out for longer.

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!

Around 6 miles on the trails this morning, perfect weather. I felt pretty good, and my calf wasn't hurting me at all so that was good. I'll probably go to the running center later today to try and get some new trainers because my current ones are starting to get worn out and might be what was causing my shin to hurt a little bit.

Met up with some of the guys and we headed out towards the Arizona strip to do our 2 mile power run. Our pace was supposed to be 35 seconds slower than our mile pace, so I was supposed to hit 5:02 per mile. I knew that this was going to he hard though, seeing as I only ran 5 seconds faster than this in the race on Thursday. The first mile was about 10 seconds slow, but it still felt hard. The next mile was about the same pace and it hurt. I should pushed through it but I think I'm just a little tired from Thursday. Overall an okay week, my calf doesn't hurt at all anymore so that's good. Next week will be a good week and then BYU the next week. Should be a good race!
