I was the weird kid who loved the crusts and heels best. Chewy and more flavorful! But back on topic, kids do know the difference once they chomp down because it doesn't just turn to mush, and you have to chew it a bit more. And that's fine by me! Gimme them heels!

Maybe it does take practice, idk, because I was raised by two teachers, with no cable, no internet, and just a library card. Mom had us reading books very young, a lot, growing up.

But, my sister, who is basically a genius, would speed read. She even said it wasn't working, she'd read a page and then forget what she just read. Reading at a normal pace is better. But, some people can read faster, I imagine, that is everyone has their own normal pace.

Some people might have other tips, but here's my 2 cents: it's mostly practice. Think of your brain as a muscle. You wouldn't sign up for a semi-marathon and expect to do it just because you signed up. You have to start slow and build up with training. Brain works the same. A more practical tip: take notes, read them out and sum them up in your own words. Your brain deals with TONS of info all the time, it needs to know what to keep and what to throw away. By writing and rehashing it, you are signaling: this is important, I need you to keep it. I'm not helping you gain time, but it really works. (I teach adults, I tell them all the time) And last: SLEEP! A tired brain, just like a muscle, can't perform well. It's not laziness, it's a need. Good luck!

Go to REI or dicks and tell them about your problem. They have a whole assortment of products for runners and hikers that will be able to help.

Optionally, for me it was always the sweat build up during long hikes that caused chafing, so I just started using wet wipes between my thighs every few hours. Not always ideal, but it worked for me!

One time I took a shit and it looked exactly like Abe Lincoln. Top hat and all. This was before cell cameras. I should have got a disposable camera and taken a picture. Nobody believes me. Best moment of my life.
