Additional Benefits to Backwards Walking/Running

--------------------------------------------------

1) you don't have to turn around to see who or what is chasing you;

2) you can spit without having to turn your head;

3) on rare occasions, stars align where the timing is perfect to combine points 1 and 2;

4) when running into a cold wind, your body is a buffer plus your hands fall naturally behind your body's heat stream;

5) you'll be an oddity at the race track, in your neighborhood or wherever else it is that you run...that's if you want to stand out a bit and be more memorable somehow;

6) it's easier to imagine that you're in the back of a boat watching the wake left behind as you proceed forward...longer runs are more enjoyable/manageable when you can entertain and trick your mind as such;

7) backwarding motion pushes the hair on your head forward helping to obscure receding hairline;

8) unleashed dogs are less likely to attack as they will be stunned since you'll surely be an oddity to them as you are to most everyone else;

9) gnats and other tiny bugs getting into your eyes will be a much less frequently occurrence;

10) it's easier for you to pretend not to notice runners coming upon you from the opposite direction so that you don't have to act all sociable every time or even experience the stress of putting in the thought of how to acknowledge them the same way if you saw them ahead of time while forward-facing;

11) people who are behind you and running forward in the same direction typically freak out and veer in another direction before actually passing you...again another way to minimize engagement or needing to acknowledge on your more non-sociable days.
