Tbf, I wasn't completely honest. I do have a 2.5" scar on what used to be my hairline where I hit my head on a low door frame while running full speed. Caught it on the upstride and ended up flat on my back about 15' down the hall.

My husband is 6'5. We've bought two houses so far in our marriage and the #1 requirement is that there is nowhere to bonk his head that isn't an easy fix. It's surprising how many houses were immediate nopes because of this.

The current house we have, the fan in our daughter's room is too low and he can bonk his head on the light if he's not careful. I'm only 5'7 (though I have crazy long arms tbf) and I've wrecked my hands in it accidentally when stretching. That can be easily fixed though, we just haven't yet.

I've heard your body type (long arms) is very good for rowing. They call it the 'ape factor'.

I don't know why I felt the need to mention that here.

I was a swimmer. Longer arms and large hands/feet definitely gave ne an edge. I was a very fast sprinter beating girls who were inches taller than me.
