Staying Sane During Travel

Good morning and happy Friday! The last 24 hours have been a complete whirlwind! Yesterday was my 28th birthday and while celebrating it with my work family was wonderful it was a bit stressful as well.

I made another rookie travel mistake by not packing any going out clothes or even jeans for this trip. Therefore, I spent half of yesterday contemplating whether I needed to buy a new outfit for my birthday dinner last night. I ended up trying on multiple outfits and shredding my body to pieces due to trying on one too many sequin dresses, which can hurt like woah when you’re rushing in the dressing room.

In the end, I decided to stick with my workout outfit and still had a blast. More details to come regarding my birthday celebrating, but for now, let’s talk about how I managed the stress of a four day work trip, losing my driver’s license, and having my computer crash.

I ran a lot!

I ran three of the four days down here just to keep my mind clear and focused.

Even though I didn’t get to bed last night until past 2am, I crawled out of bed at 7 this morning for one last Miami Beach run.

I’m lucky that I’ve spent the week in a city like South Beach. There is a gorgeous boardwalk right outside our hotel which runs for at least three miles along the beach.

I have found that if I maintain my workout plan while I’m traveling it can help keep me sane and on a healthy track.

How can you be stressed out when you start your day with views like this?

I killed my calves two of the mornings by running a mile in the sand but I loved every minute of my workout.

Next time you have to travel, whether for business or personal, make sure you make time for you and your workouts. Whether it’s a long walk or a twenty minute boot camp session in your hotel room, I promise you’ll feel better!
