I believe that slow is good both physically and psychologically. It's important to not be killing yourself everyday. If you do, you'll end up injured or simply get worn out and stop. Yes, this was a very impressive slow run!

Yeah... REAL slow. Didn't you run a 5 minute mile at some point... :-)

It is actually a good sign that you do not get edgy running at a slow pace. In my experience, this has always coincided with getting into really good shape. I do not quite understand the physiology behind it, but I do know that when I want to run slow while in hard training, it means when I try to run fast it will be really fast.
