Weekend update

Its over. I already miss it. Staying up later then normal. Sleeping in. Those days are over for now. My vacation ended Sunday. I had a good time, but now its back to work.

Thursday morning, my husband and I headed up to Dearborn to go to The Henry Ford museum. There was so much to see. I think we were in the museum for five or six hours. When we first arrived at the museum, my husband stopped to read most of the descriptions in front of the objects. Near the end of the visit, we mostly looked at things and kept walking. My favorite pieces of the museum was the train engine/cars, doll houses, JFK's limo that he rode in the day was assassinated and Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theatre.

Friday morning I decided to run on the hotel's treadmill. While my husband was still sleeping, I stretched and walked down to the fitness center. It really wasn't a fitness center, it had a step stepper, treadmill and a bike. I got on the treadmill and started running. It felt weird. The belt was jerking and it really wasn't smooth. Since I didn't like the treadmill, I only ran a mile.

After our delicious hotel breakfast, we checked out and headed to Greenfield Village. It was fun walking around looking at the old houses and businesses. Some of the houses had actors in them portraying life from that time period. They cooked meals and attended to work in the barns or gardens. My husband and I took a break before lunch to ride the train around the village. A woman, son, her mother and three friends sat in front of us. Every conversation was about this woman and her life. I'm doing this. I'm doing that. My son named all of the trains at the roundhouse. My husband and I kept rolling our eyes at each other. We were so happy to step off the train and get away from them. We stayed about six hours and saw every house, business and shop at the village.

Later that afternoon, my left knee was in pain. It hurt to bend it. It didn't help any that we went to a Detroit Tigers game later that night. There was hardly any room between the seats, so my leg was in a awkward position all nine innings. Besides my knee being in pain. It was so windy and cold, especially in the upper deck. I only brought a light jacket with me and it didn't help. The wind was blowing right threw it. The Tigers were getting hammered 10-2 and I kept saying "Get Out". I just wanted the game over so we could go back to the car and warm up.

Sunday I decided to run only a couple of miles on my treadmill. My knee and calf did hurt while running. Slowly the pain went away, but I'm still playing it safe. I don't know how much I will run this week. I have to get my knee better for the 5K race coming up Saturday. If my knee still hurts by Saturday, I will still run. But not as fast.
