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.

Today we did 2 laps slow with the team and then we had a team meeting. Then we did our normal warm-up of one mile slow and then a mile of speed changes with one lap slow. Then we did 4 by 1200 jogging one lap in between. I am frustrated with my times because I know I can run faster but I'm not.

1- 4:42

2- 4:54

3- 5:05

4- 5:26

Then we did 10 100 meter strides. These were pretty slow because I wasn't feeling well. After my second 1200 I started feeling dizzy and kind of got a head ache. I don't know why my times are so slow. Last time I did this workout I kept them all under 5 minutes. I was supposed to try and do them at 6 minute pace but I couldn't. It was a little windy so that may have made the times slower but not by that much.

Looks like there is something wrong with your health. Some ideas to fix it - cut down to 7 miles a day, maybe even only 5 to start with for a couple of weeks, then up to to 6, then 7 as you start feeling better. Keep it at 7 for a while unless you start gaining weight without gaining height or strength. Make sure you go to bed by 9 PM. Homework/friends/TV/whatever else would keep you up would have to wait, your health is more important. Get up without an alarm clock, let your body take whatever sleep it needs. Clean up your diet thoroughly. Absolutely no junk of any kind. Focus on fruits, vegetables and grains, a little bit of meat, preferably poultry or fish. It may be worthwhile to get your blood tested to see if there is anything wrong, e.g low on iron.

Sasha,

I am at a healthy weight for my height and I generally am in bed by 9 plus I take a 1 to 2 hour nap several times a week. I'm very picky about my diet, and I try to eat as healthy as I can. I recently had my blood checked and I'm not low on iron. Any other ideas?

When exactly did you have the blood test?

From Breanna on Wed, Mar 28, 2007 at 18:13:31

I had the blood test a few months ago, but I think I figured out the problem. I got sick today with flu like symptoms so Im thinking that's what has been slowing me down. Hopefully, I can get over it quickly.
