I am noting a sudden lack of compassion on Trevor’s part….
Last week we took off like an amphetamine charged rabbit and this week he complained (somewhat bitterly and at considerable length, I thought) when after a mile I broke into song…
It's twenty five miles from home
Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
Now I've been walking three days and two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad…
After that he stepped up the pace and did not catch my next song…
Sometimes I just feel like, quittin I still might
Why do I put up this fight, why do I still write
Sometimes it's hard enough just dealin with real life
Which was a shame as I have been saving 8 Mile for our first 8 mile run.
The miles continue to build, the reality is beginning to sink in and I am spending more and more time in my record collection for the next song….
But I do indeed take my hat off to Trevor. The training is going well, I
am injury free and not hating the training too much.
For such a busy guy he gives his time and advice so freely that I feel the best way to repay this is to make every session count and give it 100%...and, of course, keep singing…
Philip
Sunday, March 4th, 2012, Philip and Trevor will be running across the frozen ice surface of the world’s largest, oldest and deepest lake, Lake Baikal in Siberia. It's generally considered one of the 10 toughest marathons in the world. Philip and Trevor are running in support of Iain Rennie Hospice at Home, a charity offering specialist and supportive care and advice for patients with cancer and other life threatening illnesses in their homes.
