20 miles in the bag Boom!
Early start today, needed to get out and get the run in before class, so up at 5, smallbreakfast of porridge then off to meet Philip at 5.50.
The garmin watch did not want to load this morning, obviously the watch thought it was too early to work as well. We were met with windy but mild weather, can not believe how lucky we have been, although some cold weather running or snow would have been useful for where we are going.
Several laps of Bicester had been planned, these were tweaked so that as much as possible was with the wind, but cannt have it that way always otherwise we would have ended up in Buckingham.
In the end we were just short of 20 miles, the watch said 19.7 miles, close enough, 3hrs 20 mins, average pace 10.09, perfect pace for long training runs.
It's a nice feeling knowing that another 20 mile run is done..
Philip did amazingly well again, constantly impressing me with his dedication, although I think secretly we both wish the race was only a couple of weeks away now.
Only 5 weeks to go......
Trevor
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.
