By reading your article, I assume you are European and probably British. I say this only because I think walking is a large part of life in London and New York. Never having been to London, I’m basing a lot of this theory on movies, television and books or articles written from the perspective of a UK native. After all, James Bond has never been seen in a jogging suit (totally a misnomer) and repeating “Oy or Oy yoy yoy with every step he walks.
All of that being said, I too felt like I was reading my own Bio, including the Migraines from hell that started at 13 and at age 51, have lessened in both number and harshness. The crazy amount of pain killers that I take for advanced spinal stenosis is probably helping to lighten the Migraines. Congratulations on falling in love with your own body. I’m not even on speaking terms with mine.
