Really not long to go now, although as training gets into the taper mode everything is conspiring against us.
Due to go out on Sunday for 12 mile run, and my car breaks down,
changes my plans for the day and meant that running was the last thing on my mind.
Not in a good place yesterday.
Rescheduled yesterday's 12 mile run for 6 am this morning, mild weather considering what we have had lately, so it became a pleasant 12 mile run, although I don't think Philip thought that, it's very easy to get complacent at this stage of training but we must remember that
the taper phase of training is as important as the long runs, we must get to Siberia as fresh as possible..
So this week we have a 10 miler on Wednesday morning and on Sunday, it getting close to make sure all the equipment that we need is here, gels are ready, tactics are set in place and trainers are broken in, now is not the time to start playing around with new equipment.
It's getting very close, so I'm sure nerves will start to kick in soon..
Until next time.......

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.
