| Jo Beth had been running 3-5 miles a day back in Ohio. Running in Los Angeles was a very different experience: Ohio had been flat as a pancake, but Jo Beth's new routes took her up towards Beverly Hills. When Jo Beth had trouble completing her usual distance, she ascribed it to the hills. But soon, after only a few weeks in the city, she began to have trouble completing even one mile. She'd push herself, only to find that she literally couldn't take another step, and she'd wind up sitting on a curb somewhere waiting for enough energy to walk back home. Jo Beth was really disappointed that her hard-won exercise habit had to stop. She blamed it on the famous L.A. air, but wondered if that was all it was. Still, the sunshine every day made up for a lot. |
