Thank you, Wiley. The advice about slowing down the metronome really helped. I bought one and started using it, but I couldn't keep up with the pace that Neil had set and was having trouble getting the notes cleanly. Slowing the metronome has helped (My Qwik Time won't go below 40 - I don't know if that's normal). Anyway, I get competitive, even with myself, and try to push a little harder. Great for running or rowing; not so good for learning an instrument.
