I used to do that all the time, it was part of my job, and the terrain was nof very straight or even, sometimes as much as a 45 degree incline. The people I was guiding were always amazed, not many, if any of my co workers could do it, but I enjoyed talking and walking and I found that it was easier to do when facing the group.

Yesterday upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there,
he wasn't there again today,
I think he's from the CIA.

Running backwards is actually supposed to be good training (until you trip over something)...
http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/200 ... ning_x.htm

I also saw a feature story one time about a guy named Fred who was training to run a race backwards -- for his supporters, he had pins and shirts made up that said "OG, DERF OG"

Worked as a tour guide at the Haunted Shack at Knott's Berry Farm, a local amusement park, one of those things where you can get water to flow uphill. :D

The original poem (or first vese)reads:

"Yesterday upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish that man would go away."
