My Happy Place.

This sounds odd but I was on the treadmill preparing for another Marathon a few weeks ago and I discovered the problem. It was the TV. I turned the TV off cranked up the stereo and suddenly realized that the treadmill wasn't all that bad. Some more mellow tunes came on and suddenly I was 110% focused on the task at hand. Mind and body became as one. I never thought that could happen on the treadmill of all places! One thing that all of this training has taught me is to be in tune with my body. Its not about slugging out the miles, I have learned over the years that is only a waste of time and energy. Its about seeing the task in front of you and giving 110%. Once you accomplish that you have found your happy place. Now I admit it is a much easier place to find out on the bike for hours in the saddle, then it is slugging out 2 1/2 hours on the treadmill, but hang in there and eventually you might find the happy place too. Rock on my friends and heres to a happy and safe racing season this year. I'll see ya out there! Tear it up!!!
