Today is a cold day but it is a rest day so I can sit at home on the sofa and reflect on the last few week’s training.
We will soon begin to taper down the training and an idea that formed one morning between sets in the gym is almost coming to fruition.
Through my running I have found a degree of peace and serenity. I have also found that as long as you plan things and get good advice almost anything is possible. I still think that the race itself will be incredibly hard. The temperature in Siberia continues to fall and my nervousness continues to build. I woke up last night in a cold-sweat worried about the physical demands of running 26.2miles across a blisteringly cold lake.
I am beginning to worry about this a lot.
However, my biggest concern now is the lack of money we have raised. We are still a long way short of the target so I would ask you all to give dig deep and give what you can. Please, do something today to help change a few lives….
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.
