I had one villager with almost the opposite. He disliked running. At 2 he moved slower than my eldest villager! When I first saw him I said "I'm going to put you at the tech table and never let you leave". Eventually I did let him work on the mosiac because he liked lifting. He was so slow that every time he mated, she would be back at the village center, with baby, before he even got to the love shack!
