A day as thick as today
Loca and I walked through the park this morning and it was thick, thick, thick. The summer air in New Orleans is good for this – it slows you waaaaaaaaay down. Somewhere between a crawl and a shuffle, we made our way around the park and watched all the lazy birds hanging out, chilling by the banks of the lagoon.
A guy came running by, whizzing by, couldn’t believe how fast he was running in this thick air and it reminded me of having run a marathon, triathlons, and other uber sports I used to do – now, forgetaboutit. One hour of spinning is enough for me. Where is the girl who thrived on pushing her body to run a marathon, to ride for four hours in the hot sun, to swim in open water with a hundred people trying to climb over me?
Not here.
