Enjoying the fun stuff

Well I decided not to race this weekend. I raced at Nahant last thursday and posted my fastest time ever. 34:40. I was very pleased with that.. I was about 4 min slower last year. I was thinking about what I posted last time and kind of had a revelation if you will. I really don't need to train for anything. The fact that I am fit and healthy and can enjoy an early morning run bike or swim is somehting to be cherished. I don't regret what I said but I am glad I was able to think about it. Today I am going for a nice enjoyable run. I will gain fitness from it and love every minute of it. If I do another registered race this year than great. If not oh well. I know I will be ready to go when I need to.
