I've never been a fast runner

In fact, if pressed to provide a one word description of my running, it would be "dogged".  My running style resembles nothing so much as a desperately tired man who has for some reason been tasked with running through a field of post holes while gently flapping his arms like a recently injured bird.  As such, I don't pay a ton of attention to pace; I'm more interested in ensuring that my run gets completed.  I can't be bothered with worrying about whether I ran my last mile in 8:47 or 9:13 or 6:35 (yeah, right).  Whether this is due to a truly carefree attitude about time or a reflection of my cognizance of my lack of ability is up in the air.
