It is 7am and I am back from the gym.
I am enjoying a few quiet moments, to stretch, to think, and to just be calm before the week begins.
Today we worked shoulders, which is always a nice, tough work-out and by mid afternoon I will be struggling to move or cook dinner. That, to me, is the mark of a good workout.
Today’s work-out was hard and cathartic. It is nice to set up expectations for the week, both physically and mentally and it is also nice to know that the rest of the day is my own and does not need to involve marathon demands. Though, of course, almost every waking hour is spent worrying about diet, training plans, muscle aches and fund raising.
However, I will now put those thoughts aside, drink some coffee and wait for the day to begin.
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.
