Very easy practice day. I'm really grateful and happy about my mission call. Not the happiest day of practice, I'm trying to not think about some negative things and just focus on getting faster and preparing for my mission. I can't control anything but what I do, and no matter the difficulties I need to be patient with people and things and only worry about what's important, getting ready for my mission, and making Utah States track and cross country teams. I'm going to do a 4 mile run to clear my head and just because I feel like I should do one. Then tomorrow is a 5k, dont really want to race but probably will.

4 miles on my own, it was peaceful and felt good. Coach Murphy gave me a really awesome quote today, I'm going to write it down and keep it close by so I can draw strength from it on my mission.
