A spring in your step! Running 3/22 and on

[sgf726]

I really don't want to invest in a Garmin or like device, so I'm not sure how best to regulate myself. And I really don't want to run on a treadmill, at least not until next winter. Any advice?

I love my Garmin and really find it helps me pace myself but another way to try and regulate which I also do with the Garmin is via heartrate. Do you have a HR monitor? I use it to try and stay within a moderate range especially on longer runs.

5 miles today no real plan just went out an ran.
