``I started out slow. My first mile was like 6:55, and I was doing 6:40s for a while,’’ said the recent Brown grad, who makes her home in New Canaan, Conn. ``But then at the 5-mile mark, I took the lead and I felt good and I’m like, `I’ll just go for it and see what I can do.’ And I ended up running like under 6:10s for a lot of the miles. I just felt good and I just surprised myself.’’
