I am so happy it’s finally Friday!! The sun is shining here in Cincinnati today and the weather forecast for New York City is beautiful for the weekend!
We don’t have many plans other than to celebrate a friends birthday and while Bo is scuba diving on Saturday I’m going to spend the day running and enjoying the gorgeous weather with Katie while also finally checking Balthazar off my brunch bucket list!
It’s easy to say that I want to stay healthy during business travel but it isn’t always easy to practice what we preach. Luckily, this week it was easier than I expected!
I think the trick to staying healthy this week was balance and having the time. The training that I was in all week finished each day by 5pm which allowed plenty of time to catch up on work. This meant that each evening I was able to enjoy a relaxed dinner with co-workers or friends while still getting to bed in time to wake up for a morning workout. Here’s a glimpse at my workouts for the week along with some of the restaurants that I was able to try!
- Monday: Run with Amy through her neighborhood and sushi at Jo An Japanese
- Tuesday: Boredom Buster workout and sunset drinks at Pavillion followed by dinner at Senate
- Wednesday: The Strong Arms and Back workout and dinner at Otto’s
- Thursday: Boredom Buster workout and dinner at Metropole
- Friday: 3.5 mile run outside across the river and back
Notice a trend here? I ate out each night but I balanced it with very healthy meals during the day and a daily workout that pushed me whether that meant lifting heavy or running fast.
Overall, it was a great week of travel though I’m looking forward to being home. Too bad I don’t fly out until late tonight! For those of you who get to Cincinnati, like Emily, I will be doing another post on the Cincinnati food scene as I was amazed by all the new restaurants this week! So delicious!
To those folks running and racing Flying Pig, New Jersey, or any other race this weekend GOOD LUCK!
Your turn: Do you have any plans this weekend?
