Free As A Bird

It’s been 5 days since I started being a “not-nor” (nini in Spanish, those who do NOT work, NOR study), and although I know this will only last for a little while, I feel certain freedom that I hadn’t felt in my entire life.
The reason for this is that in the next weeks, I will be moving to Austin, to pursue a Masters Degree…not only will I be studying, but I also know that such city will help me improve my training skills, Austin is a city that just invites people to exercise.
And with such freedom, my first thought was “man, I will have plenty of time to dedicate to my triathlon training”, and it hasn’t been that way for these 5 days; and it will get worse because on Friday I will be taking a vacation for over one week, therefore training seems impossible.
The above mentioned has led me to think, is it really true that now I am more free than before? Or is it that now that I am thinking that going in a vacation will not allow me train, not only means that I am giving more important to exercise than life, but is also a small symptom of some kind of slavery?
Sport goals can never be greater than personal goals and personal growth, and I do not see it that way; but somehow those who surround me think that I will ruin my training if I take 8 days to travel and enjoy being with my boyfriend (an activity even greater, and which makes me way happier than really succeed in any race).
Then who is the one who is free? Does having time to spare mean that I am free? Or could it be that freedom comes from somewhere hidden in every heart, and is completely isolated from the idea of having enough time to train?
