Learning to run slow...

I've been running for the last few weeks (after a good 2 week block of rest). And now I'm really trying to discipline myself to run my EZ days at a true 8:00 per mile pace.

It sounds silly, but it's so tough! When I run my body just wants to go--zip! zang! zip! zang!

But it's been a new emphasis that I need to do--to let my EZ days truly be EZ days--and research seems to show that 80% of your running/training needs to be EZ. Maybe that's what got me into all sorts of injuries that I'm slowly recovering from....

I know--some people gotta learn the hard way...
