you are what you eat

About two months ago Chad and I sat down to plan our training for Ironman CDA and this past Saturday we got together to iron out the details for each week. As we were sitting there trying to decipher how to best split 14 hours of training over a week, and 17 for the next week I was reminded that most difficult part of the ironman is not the race itself but the training. The consistent day in day out, week after week, month after month of running, cycling, yoga, swimming, pilates, etc is the real work. Being consistent with it, that's what makes you an Ironman, and hence "you are what you eat", or you are what you spend your time doing. If you aspire to be something, spent consistent time doing it and with the passage of time you will inevitably become what you emulate.
