Why the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon? It fit my schedule.Friday:
Flew into Knoxville and took a taxi to the hotel (Holiday Inn Knoxville Downtown Worlds Fair Park).
Lunch: Downtown Grill & Brewery.
Dinner: Blue Coast Grill & Bar.
Desert: Orange Leaf.
Saturday:
Race number pick-up, which was conveniently located at my hotel.
Breakfast: Pete's Coffee Shop.
Snack: The Casual Pint Downtown.
Dinner: Calhoun's On the River.
Desert: Orange Leaf ... again.
Sunday:
Marathon started at 7:30 AM, right outside my hotel door. The course was a little tough, a lot of small "hills" ... but it was a beautiful day for a marathon; sunny, but not too hot. ... finished on the 50-yard line at Neyland Stadium, home of the Tennessee Volunteers Football Team.
Back to hotel to shower —got a late check-out, thank goodness!
Took at taxi to the airport ... flight delayed because of the weather in NYC.
Lunch: Ruby Tuesday at the airport — a surprisingly, amazingly, delicious burger.
