“Always Be Prepared”-is a great motto I learned from working with the youth in the Boy Scouts of America organization. And I can attest it is so true, especially when traveling.

Last week I was out of the country with my family staying at a hotel for vacation. I brought my work-out clothes, shoes, ipod, and everything needed to have a great workout…that is, until I went to the hotel’s gym and realized it was not really equipped. There was a treadmill, but no stationary bike, nothing for me to do proper training. I usually call ahead to the hotels I stay to be sure they have training equipment, and although this hotel claimed to have a gym, it was not all that ‘sufficient’. It was no problem though, because I was prepared with my running shoes. The open road can be your gym, remember that when traveling, because sometimes even though YOU might be prepared, the place you stay may not be.
