I am linking up again for the Weekly Run Down with Kim and Deborah.
It was travel week for me again, this time it wasn’t for work, but for fun. I traveled home to Germany on Thursday.
The first few days of the week, I took advantage of having access to my bike and got a few more rides in. I also went for a run. The travel days – Thursday and Friday – were long and all I could fit were a couple of meditation classes. I love that I always have them at my finger tips wherever I go. I knew that my exercise routine would be interrupted while on vacation, and even though I miss my Peloton, I am looking forward to making use of the app, running in my hometown, and walking/hiking with my family.
Monday:
- 10 Min Morning Meditation – Kristin (10/20/22) — Spring into Self Care
- 20 Min Yoga Flow – Kristin (1/30/23)
- 10 Min Ankles & Feet Mobility – Ross (11/23/22)
- 20 Min Latin Ride – Camila (6/12/22) — Dancing in the Rain Challenge
- 5 Min Cool Down Ride – Camila (3/17/23)
- 5 Min Post-Ride Stretch – Camila (6/26/22)
I started my Monday with some yoga and then checked off a couple more classes for my Streakers365 challenges.

Wednesday:
- 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Jess S (2/3/20)
- 30 Min Hip Hop Fun Run – Jess S (6/20/19)

I took advantage of a glorious, sunny morning and went for a (couple of) run(s). I also decided to hop on the bike for a quick low impact ride because I knew I would be without my Peloton for the next couple of weeks. If you have a Peloton, you know this is hard.
Thursday:
- 10 Min Acceptance meditation – Ross (4/5/23) — Spring into Self Care
Travel Day! I left the house pretty early and decided to use the time I sat at the airport to do some meditating. It’s the perfect on-the-go ‘exercise’.
Friday:
- 10 Min Happiness meditation – Kristin (3/23/23)
Saturday:
- 10 Min Sleep meditation – Ross (8/25/22)
I was busy soaking up time with family for the last couple of days and meditation was all I could fit in and I am 100% okay with it.
Sunday:
- 20 Min AFO Yoga Flow: Rascal Flatts — Dancing in the Rain
- 42 Min Just Walk: Outdoor
I did some morning yoga and went on an Easter Sunday walk with family. A perfect low-key day!

Hope you’re having a great trip!

April 26, 2023 at 12:39 pmPrioritizing family time is absolutely the right choice when traveling. I really appreciate seeing your flexible approach when travel (and other considerations) disrupt your routine. I could learn a lot from you, my friend.
