It's Fit to Fly Friday and here is your workout! Sometimes all you want to do is run. It is a great way to prepare for a long hike, to explore a new town, or just to disconnect from work and avoid the crowds at the gym. Tap into more energy systems than a steady state jog by trying one of these sprint/intervals running workouts.  Shoulder Season is like Goldilocks. It is not too hot and not too cold in most of the world, with often not too many crowds and not too terrible prices. Kids are in school, so mid-career professionals can often capitalize on their vacation bidding at this time. Some pilots and flight attendants may even be able to take an entire month off, sometime after Labor Day and before Thanksgiving, if they fly until the FAA tells them to rest throughout the summer.  Like Goldilocks, shoulder season is just right. Photo by @naser_co_fr

1 minute sit-ups 1 minute flutter kicks 1 minute Russian twists 30 seconds glute bridges 30 seconds supermans 1 minute sit-ups 1 minute plank More advanced athletes may rest 1-2 minutes and repeat "What is a typical day like in Spain?" Such a basic question that I somehow fell short of answering throughout my six-ish months of weekly (yes, weekly) trips across the pond and since my move here, a year ago. (Note: Time only matters when you are actually flying the airplane, so all timelines are approximate). Here is our first attempt to show you.  "This is so much better than what you made in the U.S.," my mother declared after taking a bite of my tortilla.
Last spring, my mom visited us, here in Spain. Angel and I offered many options for food and activities, but tortilla was non-negotiable, because one cannot refuse a dish that can be complemented only by, "Muy rico!" because very delicious are the only words you can mutter between bites of devouring this plate. "Yes, mom," I told her, smiling, "the ingredients are much better here. Plus, I was just learning to make tortilla when I first made it for you. It only gets better with practice." She declared that she was not hungry, but consented to a tortilla of her own after we assured her that it would not go to waste and I would finish it for breakfast. The three of us sat at the round, kitchen table for dinner, each in front of potatoes and eggs muy rico.

Many would argue that one's ability to adapt is most important for traveling. Growing American brands look for the same quality of adaptation in their leaders. Emotionally intelligent leaders hone their adaption in order to improve themselves and to simply live well. But beyond adapting to life on the road, on the other side of the pond, or across the street, is the traveler's ability to learn.  Andy Cartegena at Féria de Pedro Romero, Ronda, September 2017 On a recent trip to Ohio, I asked my best friend’s husband what would be appropriate attire for church on Sunday. I then remarked, “Isn’t it interesting how we all want to fit in when we are someone’s guest? Yet when we are in our own homes and towns, we want to stand out.”
