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.

Race: Deseret News 10k (6.2 Miles) 00:42:40, Place in age division: 16

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
1.80	0.00	0.00	6.20	8.00

I felt like I ran ok in the 10k today. My first mile was 5:55, then 6:18, 7:00, 7:02, 7:01, 7:48, and 1:33. I'm happy with my first two splits, but I think after that I dropped to a comfortable pace and stayed there. My last mile was way too slow. My legs were fine and didn't get very tired during the race, but I was breathing pretty hard. My total time was 42:40 which is 2:35 faster than last year. After the race I went back to my dad and carol to cheer them on in the marathon. I also went to go find my mom in the marathon but we never saw her.

Good work. Your endurance is starting to return. I wonder if you might have had some odd bug that normally would not come up in standard medical testing, maybe would not even be considered a pathology, but nevertheless attacks your ability to use oxygen for endurance exercise.

Your mom did great in the marathon. Was 31:20 in Draper Days a PR for her in the 5 K? Was 5:11 in the marathon a PR for her? She should get on the blog. Her example could serve as an inspiration for others. I remember one time your dad called me late at night before a race because your mom wanted to know what time she should expect to run. I was very impressed by her ability to see the glass as half-full. Back then she could not even average a 12:00 mile in a 5 K. Most people in her situation just give up, and do not even care about how fast they run. And yet instead of calling herself slow like many even much faster runners do, she refused to do it, and she viewed herself as a competitive runner. And that is why, I believe, she has been improving. I want everybody to think like that, regardless of their current level of ability. That is the very reason I have this site.

Good job Breanna. Congrats to your Mom too for doing the marathon. Some day I would like to do one. Hope your training helps you in your upcoming cross-country season.
