These Shoes Are Made for Walking: A Week of Fitness on the Road

Who says business trips have to derail your fitness routine? This week, I put my walking shoes to the test and executed my secret cycling plan.

Stepping up My Walking Game

Despite packed days and work events filling my evenings, I walked over 25 miles on foot. One-on-one meetings were the perfect excuse to venture along the Genil river in Granada (except on those rainy days). I clocked more miles during the weekend in Malaga.

A Cyclist’s Secret Escape

I hatched a secret plan before my trip, brought my cycling gear, and rented a bike in Malaga. What unfolded was nothing short of amazing.

Imagine this: 40 miles along the Mediterranean coast and up a gentle climb into the mountains. The weather? Absolutely perfect. It’s no wonder pro cyclists flock here for winter training.

Spanish Hospitality on Two Wheels

What struck me most wasn’t just the views, but the friendliness from local cyclists and the courteous drivers.

As I head home, my legs may be tired, but my spirit is soaring. Who knew a business trip could turn into such a fun fitness adventure? Thank you Spain. 🇪🇸
