Comment on Fitting in Fitness - On the Road Edition

One of the things I have always thought would be handy is a good "go to" site for training core / doing yoga while on the road. I have heard people say that Jillian Michael's 30 day shred is good for that, but it seemed to require weights at home. I know The-Regimen.com is new and offers the same idea. Also Tara Stiles yoga on iTunes has some good downloads apparently. I haven't tried any of them (yet) but plan on doing so before the end of 2010 to see what I can add to my routines.

So... I think doing core or yoga in the airport is totally a great idea! Especially with such long flights from NZ to the UK! And I reckon shifting things around to do a good amount of run training while gone will be great too - as it kills the training and fresh air/outdoor element in one go.

Safe travels Sarah!

Thank you Donna. I have been panicking as I have a week back in the UK (from NZ) right in the middle of training for Wanaka half ironman, so in 7 days will have about 3 days flying! I remembered you had written a post about travelling and training so I'm now going to try and reschedule my training so it doesn't look so scary and not resort to the caffeine too much. So if anyone sees me doing my core work or a bit of yoga in LAX or HKG, it's all part of my training!!

I will do - I am not sure what our August is yet, but Maine sure is tempting. We loved it there so much last year...

The process of reflection and renewal at a time like this gives a great lift, and creates a path to follow, even where there might not have been any path before... Your progress and desire to keep getting better and achieving more is fabulous and a pleasure to read about. Thanks for sharing, and have a great birthday! Ania and I were inches away from going to LCDS too, but we're missing out. Sure it will be a big one.

I like the sound of 'strong like bull', too. What a great name!

This is a great list. Granted I only travel 3-4 times a year, and rarely leave my time zone, but even that can be a big obstacle in my training.

Keep me posted if you do the Fireman's Tri. If it isn't the same week as USAT Nationals, I may be in too.

It's amazing how a milestone birthday can really get you thinking about your entire life. 35 really did that for me. You are going to have a terrific 2011.

Congrats and a belated happy B-Day Donna. Your journey is an inspiration and always provides a smile and a lift in my day. Will look forward to what is to come with your blog and adventures. "If you can dream it, you can do it...". You're comments on Wu-Weiu continue to stay with me and while a reply posting "ditto" would sum it up, I am working on something a little more insightful as an expression of gratitude. As always, now and into the future.... KEEP RISING!
