I've been playing World of Warcraft a fair bit recently. My troll Hunter, Takani, is up to level 27 (Whisperwind realm).
At level 20, Hunters get a power called "Aspect of the Cheetah" which lets them run 30% faster than normal.
The other night, I was running along a road in to town and saw a mage up ahead, heading to the same direction I was. In short order I caught up to him and ran past him, using that aspect.
Remember a while back I talked about my
walking speed?
On my way home from getting groceries this morning, I saw some people ahead of me on the sidewalk, walking the same direction I was. Before long I had caught up to them and passed them, and I had an odd sort of deja vu.
I then started thinking about how unwieldy it would be to carry as much stuff as Takani tends to carry, even with four large bags ..
I also need to either go to the store more often, or drink less milk. Carrying a gallon of cold milk for the 20 minute walk makes my fingers start to go numb...
