These are weekly free training runs/walks that the KTC puts on for The Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon (half , full, relay and 5k) over 50 people there today with 8 former CHKM team folks there and 8 Biggest Winner 2012 on hand. We headed down to Jean Teague Greenway and then headed out towards 10 mile greenway and did a big loop at the church of Christ there close to Sams. Then we came back to Gazebo and walked over to West Hills school then did loop up behind Y and up THE HILL back to The Health Shoppe. Most did 3-4 miles and the bunch did great. At the Health Shoppe they showed us some of the equipment like a little vibrating pad some stood on to help relax some tight legs. Then Edee and Randy tried out the ALTER G trainer which is a NASA like treadmill that takes off up to 80% of your weight. Especially for Edee who is limited with her walking due to spinal cord condition, this really allowed her to walk pain free in a more up right position and all found it very cool. Then we headed to Barnes and Noble for little talk time, stretching (yes we stretched in our chairs) and had a few coffee/teas. Next week Thanksgiving and few meeting up same spot (sat) to walk the trails and also ktc has their big autumnfest 8k on Turkey day www.ktc.org You can go to www.knoxvillemarathon.com to see the training schedule and also our team blogs are on www.covenanthealth.com/biggestwinner
