: just wanted to say that it sucks trying to go jogging w the neighbors. their legs are so long and they can just casually run down the street. they don't know how exhausting it is with my little feet to run even 15 yards, not to mention trying to make those sharp turns at the end of the block. they seem to forget that they can just ease into a 90º turn. They don't realize I have to forcefully thrust my whole body around on the turns. It takes alot out of me. You'd understand especially if you saw how flat I was. i tried going sideways, but it really hurts your feet afterawhile, since they were made to walk forward. Also, when you round that corner at jogging speed, going sideways, you have to look inward, facing the corner or those little kids on those scooters will crash right into you and knock you into those darn newspaper boxes. also, i tend to get quite a headache when i bob my head from side to side too much. when your face is as large and flat as mine, well, your whole head actually, you tend to catch all the wind head on and this really slows you down. my head is not very aerodynamic. it's just that when i turn sideways, it slows down my running speed since i have to use my feet all wrong. so, life is hard.
