It is a week to go and I am lying on the sofa with what appears to be terminal man ‘flu.
I feel thoroughly miserable. My nose is running, I am shivering and shaking like a shitting dog, and I have a headache. This is not how I should be a week before we run. I should be feeling supremely confidant and relaxed not like a dead-man walking.
Last night I barely slept. I alternated between feeling hot and cold and ended up cuddling the dog for warmth at one stage. It didn’t help that every time I did fall asleep I had terrible nightmares after watching the film Insidious earlier in the day (and can someone please explain the ending to me…)
I have dosed myself up with vitamins, juiced the contents of the fridge (anyone for fennel, apple, garlic, ginger juice…?) and am now awaiting the arrival of the Grim reaper.
The only positive to the day is that I have the beautiful music of Clare Anderson on the radio. It seems that where rest and vitamins can not reach, Clare can, and I am at least a lot stressed since I turned on the radio as loud as it will go.
I dont envisage getting off the sofa today but plan on making a full recovery around about 4pm tomorrow afternoon….if you know what I mean…
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.
