Researchers who followed the health of nearly 500 older people for almost a decade found that those who walked more quickly were less likely to die over the course of the study.
quote:
The study presented at the conference reported that nine years after their gait speed was measured, 77 percent of those people described as slow had died, 50 percent of those considered medium and 27 percent of those considered fast.
Now I have another added reason to why I speedwalk malls like a maniac.
Following fast walkers for almost a decade? What some people are willing to do for science.

The first thing that hit my mind
Out of my way I am running,
I am gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I am coming,
I am gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I am running,
I am gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way stop running,
I am gonna catch you
