Another week nearly completed, 10 miles completed on Thursday, again pleasant weather, we have been so lucky with the weather through the training.
Another 10 on Sunday, then we are down to single figure runs.
2 weeks tomorrow we will be lining up to start the Baikal Marathon, it will be an amazing experience, one that I will not be repeating..
Had an email from the organisers yesterday, they commented that they were hoping that the ice will be stable, slightly worrying, had to reply and ask what happens if not, don't think I can swim 26.2 miles....
They replied stating that there was nothing to worry about and the ice is thick enough,what a result otherwise would have been a problem.
Philip is starting to get nervous now, although honestly I feel the same, it's a massive challenge and not one that we have done before or run in those condition and also on top of all that we are thousand of miles away, unsure about the food, etc.
Not many variables to worry about..

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.
