When you're on the road a lot, it can go one of two ways: you get excited about switching up your views and love getting your workouts in, or you're just exhausted and want some down time. For me, it's not 100% one or the other. My usual view: Kindle, work iPad to catch up …

When traveling, there is so much control you have to give up, or risk being constantly frustrated. When you're training for something, giving up control is pretty much the last thing you want to do, but stick with me here, it's the only way to make it through and stay healthy, mentally and physically.

Sticking to the travel theme, this month is all about travel-related stuff. When you travel almost weekly, having things that make life feel as normal and comfortable as possible. That Curfew love. I'm always cold, but being on a plane for several hours while cold is the worst, so I've come to invest in lots …
