relative speeds

I know EVERYTHING is a matter of perspective, ALWAYS...
I am really struggling with this new pacing information I've received. LIKE REALLY REALLY STRUGGLING. 
Not only does it FEEL strange, but it is really doing a number on my ego.
[Let's just ignore, for now, the inherent problem in the latter half of that statement...please?]
Slow should describe only how I feel, NOT as a descriptor for the pace I am running...or for that matter, yours. 
That said, I have decided to remove the word 'slow' from my vocabulary.
In its place,  the words 'relaxed', 'conversational', 'manageable', or 'coffee shop' will be used to describe pace.... ...but I can say, still, that I FEEL slow...ok? 
'Sometimes you gotta slow down to speed up...' 
Yeah, I get it.
