I never run faster than I can because I would trip over myself and fall.
\nSo I always stay a safe amount away from my fastest:
\n(…………………x….)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yet one time I had to run faster than I ever thought I could.
\nAnd fell and ripped my pants at the knee.
\nFrom then on I ran just short of my fastest and, of course, never fell again.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So why am I saying this?
\nBecause how fast I was running before I fell was sooo much faster than I thought I could run, it surprised me:
\n(…………………………………………..x)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From now on my new \u2018safe’ speed looks like this:
\n(……………………………………….x….)
\nas compared to:
\n(…………………x………………………..)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
