Flew back to Boston today from Texas. I was exhausted, and felt not so great after flying. Really just wanted to lay down and do nothing, but I sucked it up and head into the gym. Really glad that I did, I actually had a pretty good training session given the post-flying tightness. Also got to see a lot of people I've been missing/ haven't seen in a while. With finals and end of semester stuff, I had been training at all kinds of weird hours-- so I hadn't really gotten to see "my people". All in all it was a great way to end my day/ shake off the travel blues I always seem to catch.
