Taylor - Running and Constitution

The only was to really tell what was going on was to pay attention as the numbers went up and see whether it meant easier, faster or both. I was hoping for both.

That'd mean that I could have numbers over a hundred percent. Three hundred percent added to my base climbing speed would make me four times as fast. That'd put me at fifteen seconds, maybe faster if I got used to climbing this particular pole.

I was wearing a hoodie, and I started jogging.

Apparently a +4 constitution meant something I was able to run eight blocks before getting any fatigue messages, and sixteen before slipping into exhausted.

NEW SKILL CREATED!

Running... the art of learning how to really move. Put one foot in front of the other and breathe. It really doesn't seem much like a skill when put like that. +10% to speed and to endurance. Level one.

Endurance...that was how far I could run without getting tired, right?

***

I walked until my fatigued condition reset, which seemed to take fifteen minutes, and then I started running again. By the time I reached the Lord's Street Market, I had gained another ten percent to my running, and it was a clear difference to me.

I was running further and easier. I wasn't sweaty, and I wasn't even out of breath. I was wearing my hoodie so my youth wouldn't be obvious.
