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.

I ran on the treadmill again today. Today was a much better experience then yesterday. I stretched about 10 minutes beforehand just like yesterday and then started running. I put the treadmill on 1.5 incline and started slower then yesterday and then increased the speed every minute. It took me 10:33 to finish the mile but it felt very easy and went by quickly. My heart rate at the end was 161 so much better than 192 yesterday. After the run I stretched for about 10 more minutes and then did 25 crunches and 5 push-ups ( I have REALLY weak arms but I have to start somewhere I guess). Now I'm just wondering what I should do from here. I'm going to do at least one more day of only a mile and hopefully a bit faster than today but I'm not sure if I should keep doing the mile till I'm able to do it at 8:00 comfortably or if I should add a mile and stay at a slower pace.

Hi Breanna, I am glad you are feeling better. What I can remember about when I was getting back after 4 months off was:

20' off 30' 20' off 30' off

I will try to find my training schedule and send them to you through the blog. I would not worry about pace right now. Build up some mileage and the speed will come.
