I Love this Time of Year

This is the time of year that you just don't care about training. You go back to the roots of enjoying a run, ride, or even a swim. You workout with people you have not been able to because a ride is just that...a ride. You indulge in food that you normally would not on a ride and learn that it just may have helped. Swims at the pool are not about 'time' but about enjoying the feel of the water. Runs are not about splits, and how fast you were able to run a loop compared to last week...they are full of conversation, stops, and views. This is the time of year when you enjoy your surroundings...people, nature, yourself. This is the time when you start to again realize why you supposedly like to train/workout. It's not always about what race is next.

Then there are also those days that you simply do nothing. And that feels just as good.

Happy October people. Enjoy the lazy months while you can. Well, except those of you racing IM AZ and Clearwater :)
