Short legs

I just came back from a walk and I have decided their should be a Stride Factor numeric for people who have short legs. It is upsetting to have to take so many more steps than most people. I alternate between taking a lot of real fast short comfortable steps and a series of stretched out strides. Of course, it doesn’t matter as far as the benefit to fitness is concerned, but sometimes it’s a bummer.

I have toddler legs or, as some people are wont to say – duck legs. I notice in the summer when people are wearing shorts that many, many women are the same height as I am from head to the bottom of the torso – and then it’s a whole different story. In my case, a short one.

But, it’s not a real complaint; my legs work and have feet attached.
