Interesting. Walk this fast would ruin my feet.

I personally find that hard to believe. There may be preception issue at
play, but I admit to not knowing anything about it. I've often wondered how
I'd do at running, but since i used to have serious problems with me feet
(back when I weighed 367 lbs), I don't want to risk injury even though I'm
curious.

Idle chit chat ain't trolling. I thought it was an interesting post. I've
been doing other forms of working out too, for similar reasons.
