No matter how much you love running on vacation, and no matter how desperately you wanted to run down the neutral ground in the Garden District in New Orleans, and no matter how hard you worked to squeeze your running shoes in your suitcase, you will never, never, never, ever, ever feel like going for a run while you are in New Orleans.
For beignet's sake, you stayed out to 5am one night. When precisely did you think you would feel like running after that misadventure?
Oh sure, you even took the time to email the local running club ahead of time because you weren't sure if the exact location of your hotel was a little shady. That's all well and good, but it's a mile walk just to get in to the Voodoo stages, nevermind all the walking about once you're inside!
Yep, you watched lots of other runners go up and down the neutral ground, but you could hardly stay upright watching them from the sheer exhaustion that is New Orleans at Halloween.
So do us all a huge favor and just leave your stupid running gear at home next year. It's simply never going to happen.
