In the past,whenever my smartwatch told me I was running slower'than I"should,"I'd force myself to speed up,even if it was clear that my body didn't want to.But this time;I ran the way I wanted to. 英语试卷第7页（共8页） On several occasions(场合)，I was surprised to see real breakthroughs(突a破)inmy running times when I checked my notepad after workouts.If I had seen those numbers during the run,I might have slowed down.But since I didn't know,Ijust kept running.
