I stand about 5’3″, weight 155 pounds and have really great birthing hips. I overpronate and it takes me almost two steps to Donnie’s one to keep up with him. I, by no means, have a traditional runner’s body, I will never win a race (unless it’s against a crawling baby) and I make all running outfit decisions based on whether my thighs will rub together.
Everything about my body tells me to go find another form of exercise, but I don’t want to. I want to run.
And at least I have a tall man in my house to reach the highest shelves.
Thanks Runner’s World for the chuckle:

LOL.
I can relate, 5’3″ 155lbs…trying to overcome the genetic opposition, working hard!! Keep at it!

I suppose what we don’t have in long legs we’ll just have to make up in spunk. 🙂
