Training for 100kms takes up a lot of time. But, in a strange way, it also gives you a luxurious amount of time in return. A four, five or six-plus hour run in the woods adds up to more 'free' time than I would normally see in a week, let alone a single day. I like to 'do stuff', so my days are normally crammed from dawn to dusk with work, work, fitness, home projects, work, projects, fitness, work or sleep. I am getting better at relaxing and have learned to appreciate the rewards that come from 'doing nothing' and 'free time'. (Who knew relaxing and watching a movie could be so rejuvenating?)
