I am a Quadruped.

Note: This essay includes hypertext, that is linked to the world-wide-web.
Prologue
I am told now, that when I crawled before I learned to walk I never used my knees. Even then I moved on the palms of my hands and the souls of my feet. However, I do not remember that phase.
The first moment I remember returning to being a quadruped after that phase was October Twenty-Zero-Nine. A friend of mine had showed me a film. We then went fo a walk in the forest. We had been scoffing “ha 4 miles inst that far.” Then we tried about 100 meters each. It kicked out asses
At the first Parkour Horizons practice I went to I fell in love with quadrupedal movement.
On my Birthday in Twenty-Ten, I did my first “big crawl. I planed to go out for two hours of crawling. In Forty-Five minutes I covered a distance I can walk in nine. I then had to rest for fifteen minutes and was able to crawl another three hundred meters before calling it and walking home. In total I crawled about one-thousand meters that day.
 Martin-Luther-King-Day Twenty-Eleven I crawled eleven-hundred meters. The ground was bitter cold that day I wore thin gloves that dissolved near the fingertips.

In the past month I have started training my crawling. The distances I once thought were lager are sizable still, but I do those distances on a regular basis now. I am trying to crawl more and more in front of people; in public spaces and at high traffic hours.
Epilogue
On my birthday twenty eleven I crawled two-thousand-three-hundred meters because I was turning twenty-three. Later, in the months of December and January I started taking steps to become a complete quadruped. However, it would be another six months before a consistent regimen was possible. In all of the month of July Twenty-Twelve I took less that one hundred bipedal steps.
For the last several years I have walked up right only three quarters of the time. Every three months or so I return to quadrupedie full time. This year, twenty-twenty-one, I just learned I will be a father soon. I have said the joke for years, but I want my children to have to learn to walk bipedal to go to school. Kids learn by observation. If most of what I child see is quadrupedie, perhaps they might take longer learning bipedal locomotion. I just want to raise an army of super people.
