Breaking it up

I did the increasingly unpleasant drive from Indianapolis to Washington DC yesterday. I've tried a few strategies. One is to stay overnight en route. That costs money and involves staying in an uncomfortable hotel bed somewhere like Wheeling, West Virginia. A second is to drive as fast as possible. I can make it in about 8 1/2 hours if I really try. Yesterday I tried the third. I stopped at least six times. At one rest stop I ran circles around the parking lot for 10 minutes, by the end of which I had shaken off the tightness of sitting in the car and was really flowing. I think I take the third approach when I head back. Maybe with a longer run.
