Kingsport TN

Ran 5.25 miles in an hour on the treadmill at the hotel near the Detroit Diesel shop.
I was disappointed as my goal for this tempo run was 10-minute miles. Oh well...

Walked two miles. Legs are sore from yesterday. Walking definitely uses different muscles than running (or sleeping).

Our truck broke down again yesterday. Since the nearest shop is 70 miles away and does not open until Monday, we are spending a couple of nights in a motel.
Cindy and I walked eight miles today. We went from the hotel, up the Lee Highway to the tow company's yard, and part of the way back. One of the mechanics from the yard saw us and offered us a ride.

Broke Still Down

Still at the airport hotel. The picture is of the distictive tower and curved roof of Lambert. I ran 2.25 miles on the treadmill while Cindy rode the exercise bike.

Broke Down Still

Our hotel downtown was full for Saturday night, so we took the train out to the airport and got a hotel out there. I wanted to check out the neighborhood, so I ran four miles on the streets around the hotel and Lambert Field Airport.

Still Broke Down

Shopping crosstraining means that your wife has a list, and you get some miles in walking. We took the Metrolink train around the area and did most of the shopping-with-your-sweetheart stuff. We window-shopped, bought some items so I could carry the bag, ate lunch at a bistro-style restaurant, enjoyed people watching and looking at nice houses near Washington University. I did not have to hang out by the changing room while Cindy tried on clothes, though. I figure at least eight miles of walking.

One bad thing about having your truck in the shop is that you cannot make any money with it. One good thing about having your truck in the shop is that you can catch up on things that you have been meaning to take care of, but have not scheduled the time to get them done. You can catch up on bookkeeping for taxes, order some stuff off the internet, update your blogs, make phone calls and send emails, and get in some miles running.


We stayed at a hotel downtown. The temperature was a bit cool, 45 degrees, so I ran a mile on the treadmill in the hotel to warm up before taking to the streets and running another four miles for a total of five miles.
