How do you feel about galloping up on all fours?

Oh no when the hell did I stop doing this. I'm assuming since carrying a baby up the stairs. If I ever go up empty handed I will return to my natural galloping state

Haha, no. YANBU. It's good exercise.

I struggle to do one step at a time,never mind 2! But then I do have arthritic knees and hips.

I used to do this as a child. Used to drive my DM mad for some reason!

Doing this is overstressing the staircase and will result in a catastrophic collapse
eventually.

Surely not! We haven’t even mentioned hopping yet.

Used to, my legs couldn't take it now lol.

Ha - chance would be a fine thing! Definitely one at a time going up and even slower coming down.

Granted, cheese rolling doesn't work quite as well uphill...
But it doesn't take much to miss the step on your giant 2-step leap, or you may catch it on the edge of the stair, and back you go..!!

Thank you for the healing vibe. It's getting there!

I read the first words as 'Grated cheese'.........

Excellent!
Now I'm wondering how to roll grated cheese uphill. Will it naturally form a ball, like a snowman? Will you only be able to roll one sliver at a time?
You may have invented a new sport, Mountainpika!

Men and teenagers always go upstairs emptyhanded!

Your mind and mine work the same way.
If it's warm, the cheese should roll into a ball. But on a cold day, it could be a problem.

If I think too much about going up or downstairs, I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks @WhatWouldJeevesDo I'm going to be stuck downstairs all day now 🤣

WhatWouldJeevesDo · 10/07/2024 10:07

@HunterHearstHelmsley two at a time. It’s the only way to live!

You maintain momentum by not actually straightening your legs till you get to the top.
