iPlod

Have you ever thought about the way you walk?  No??  Well, I have, but only because I think about crazy things like...the way I walk.

Some people mosey, some people dash, some people prance, some people stroll, some people amble, some people rush.  I plod.

And I only know this because I've seen myself on video.  At first I was shocked.  I'd always imagined that I was quite a graceful walker.   But not so.  I had hard evidence, my eyes don't lie.  I was definitely plodding.  P.L.O.D.D.I.N.G...like an old lady with scoliosis or arthritis.  As it happens I'm a middle-aged youthful lady with mild scoliosis AND arthritis, but I didn't think it affected the way I walked.  Apparently it does.

It also doesn't help that I have short legs and tiny feet, I might topple over at any moment.  No, not really!  But I do plod!!  Oh well, such is life.

What's your gait?

  6. I'm not sure! Just... fast.

    But when I used to sit downstairs at my old job, I could tell who was walking around on the next floor up, by the different walks. One lady had really heavy steps, but when people told her that she'd get really offended and think they were calling HER heavy. She was only little, but just had heavy feet.
