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.

We ran from East to sugarhouse park, around the perimeter once, and then back to the school. It was a good run, I did it in 53:25. I ran in my pegasus (total 12.5 miles). My shin hurt again but not as much. I ran alone most of the time.

With the shin hurting, I would recommend not doing speed work for a while. In fact, I believe speed work does not do much for you at a young age. While you are still growing, the focus of your training should be to help the body develop properly. At your age, trying to get faster by training harder is not as effective as getting faster simply by getting bigger while retaining proper body proportions and structure.
In other words, I think the optimal training for you would be something like running 5-6 miles a day, and then doing some fairly extensive overall strength and flexibility work making sure no muscle group gets neglected. A lot of it could happen naturally through active games and participating in other sports.
