I took second at USATF Nationals Cross-Country when I was ten. I was 6th at nationals in the 3000 in 2004.

Personal:

I did lots of competitive running growing up. I'm now 23 and have fibromyalgia and CFS. I just finished nursing school and am going back for my MSN in a few months, but I want to get back in shape and be able to run again.

This morning I was up at 3:30 to head to the start line. I slept most of the way up there but I still didn't sleep much. At the start line I didn't do any warm-up because there were too many people and I couldn't see a good spot to do one. I started the race and just ran off of feel. These were my splits:

1-6:43

2- 6:48

3- 6:42

4- 6:41

5- 6:26

6- 6:24

7- 6:23

8- 6:34

9- 6:44

10- 6:48

11- 6:56

12- 7:26

13- 6:24

.1- 37

I took a Gu just before mile 6. I didn't really feel like taking it, but I was glad I did because at about 10 and a 1/2 my legs started to feel really heavy. Overall it was a good race. I was happy with my time, my fastest 1/2 in a while. My legs felt pretty good through out the race with a few aches here and there but my shin didn't bother me at all. After the race I jogged 2 miles, one with my mom while she finished, and one with Sasha. (Pegasus 80)

Very nice, consistent race, especially given the 3:30 am wake up (ouch). And congrats on the age division win.
