Welcome to my world!!!
I'm getting to the point where holidays are a waste of time, I always come back from holiday with a cold or get a cold whilst away. WHAT'S THE POINT.
Does mother nature not know that I have a very difficult marathon coming up.....
It is now 8 weeks to go, which is scary, which also in 5 weeks time the majority of the training will be done and tapering will have set in..
Where has the time gone?
Christmas was meant to have been cold weather training, with running in the Yak Trax grips to get practice, bloody global warming, there was a bit on snow and ice when we arrived and on the last day, not what was needed.
Which means that it will be certainly entering the unknown when when we travel to Lake Baikal.
I have been forced to take a couple of days off this week, due to my cold, but have managed an 8 mile run yesterday, 4 miles today and have got 20 miles tomorrow which will be Philip's furthest distance.
This marathon is coming round very quick, although an amazing challenge at the moment, it feels like a big black cloud on the horizon...(or should that be a big white cloud)
On a positive note Philip is doing amazingly well, sticking to his training program, so if it's effort and dedication then we will be fine.
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.
