I had wondered about this when Crankin posted it. Even to a non-professional this just doesn't sound like a good idea. Sometimes we do "Farmer Carry" around the track (walking laps with kettlebells in our hands) in class and they are very clear that no running is allowed.

Irulan, that looks like fun
