If there’s one thing that I love about summer, besides lounging at the pool, it’s taking road trips with my friends. The best summers are the ones where you’re all packed up in a SUV or van, a cooler in the back, feet on the dashboard, and checking to see where the road takes you.

The distractions of that can take over, or the business of the trip may too, thus throwing you off the course you’ve started for yourself. However, there are certain things you can do to be able to go on vacation but not lose track of working out or training.
