Well how y'all doin'? Welcome to Hotlanta! You're gonna' have to get a car.
Mr Lapin and I have been in the United States for two months now, Atlanta to be precise. The last couple of weeks in Bangkok were so incredibly stressful that I had just about enough time in the day to get the relocating stuff done let alone trying to contemplate running.
Needless to say I arrived in a very hilly city very unfit. I am not kidding the first few weeks here it seemed that whatever direction I was walking in I was always walking up hill. Big hills. I am beginning to think this is why everyone drives. Oh, my legs ached and my heart thumped. I huffed and puffed and thought how the hell am I going to be able to run these hilly streets?
The solution was to get all American and take my 'sneakers' to work so that I could join my ladies walking at lunch time. Now don't be fooled, when I say walking I am not talking about a gentle lunch time stroll to 'stretch the legs'. I am talking FAST walking.
