I'm definitely in the race to train camp. I need goals - the race - to keep me motivated and focused. But the emphasis for me is definitely on the journey - the training. For me the race is just a quiz along the way to allow me to focus and gauge my training. The training on the otherhand is what shapes and sculpts me. It has transformed me - both in the physical and mental sense. Actually the mental transformation was the biggest surprise - the benefit to training that I wasn't expecting. I completely expected that training would make me stronger physically. It never occurred to me as I started down this path that it would change how I approach and view life.
It's amazing what your mind will get up to when your body's busy and knows what to do.
Workout Summary
What? Slacked? Yeah - guilty as charged. Actually there were thunderstorms this morning which means they close all the pools at the health club. The idea of going anyways and sitting on a spin bike and then running on a treadmill was too great of a hill for me to climb today. It's a bit of recovery week for me anyways so I snuggled in with my daughter (who got woken up by the thunderstorms and climbed into bed with us) and caught a couple hours of bonus sleep.
Weather permitting I'll get out for a bike/run brick tonight. I at least want to run because I need to keep consistent during my marathon build period.

I'm amazed! You are usually ruthless with the training. That's ok. You've definitely earned one slacker day.
