I like the ring to that...
From what I read Jason you're a dab hand at making almost anything so I'd say make some pink tutu's for yourself!

It's hard to stop walking and start running ! Stand next to a fence and jog on the spot grab the fence if you feel your losing your balance. Turn along the fence and jog slowly along it grabbing hold of the fence if you feel your falling. Build up distance before pushing harder off each leg and leaning forward. In no time you'll be running at speed.

jog on the spot, like keep lifting your legs up, ops lift ure nees up and keep bouncing on 1 foot at a time, then as you get better go forward but in the same motion, eventually u get faster and faster and its easy, you can jusr run, you have to run by bouncing off one foot onto another, its easy

i dont know wether anyone said this because i didnt read any ..  but i realised that it was the weakening of the springs that are vital to being able to run properly..when theyre stiff it seems to cause u to run on the front of your feet.. thats what happened to me anywho... but now theyre nice and bouncy, running is a doddle. steve.

Shove them by a radiator before you go out then, will make the springs warmer and more flexible as the particles in them have more energy so are more willing to move.

Stopping isn't a problem - you just land on both legs and convert the energy of running to vertical jumps, but there's a limit in speed. If you run too fast, your hoofs may slide. The problem is how to run really fast? My highest speed was only 22-25 km per hour. Another problem is how to estimate the speed. I ran with a Segway travelling 20 km per hour and was a little bit faster. But I want to estimate the speed exactly, not approximately.

My biggest problem when I started was that the springs were too hard- try about 5 minutes every time you put on your bocks of hopping from one foot to the other, making sure you are fully airborne for a bit, and just soften the springs up; then it's just easy.
