Question....

So. I have this thing where I watch other ppl's feet that are walking the track with me (Esp ppl who've passed me) to see how much faster they're going. Sometimes I try to keep up. Well, there's been several times that ppl who pass me are walking slower than me, in their steps. Less steps. This one dude walks the same amount of steps as me, but he's faster, much faster than me. So I have decided their legs are longer. I try taking bigger steps, and it helps..

But my question: if the dude who is walking faster than me is actually taking the same amount of steps per minute, are we burning the same calories per mile? Or am I burning more, because it's actually going to take me more steps to get the mile. OR! Is he burning more, because he's bigger (and he's male..)?

Dude. You're over analyzing this thing! Quit looking at peoples feet and enjoy the scenery around you!

And this, my friends, is a prime example of a C vs I... :) (DiSC profile...)

Can't enjoy the scenery, gotta dodge the duck poop. :)
