Especially since you didn't look at your watch. Running by feel is so tough but I think it actually helps to even out the effort so you don't go out too fast or too slow, just go by your breathing and how you are feeling.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210098462417950977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638053959593735499.post-63630953719585470792012-04-03T14:09:31.371-07:002012-04-03T14:09:31.371-07:00wait a second. your butt was broken until yesterd...wait a second. your butt was broken until yesterday, right? and you've only been to tempo maybe twice, right?
