Dreams Come Alive

Feeling completely unprepared for the Gobi March. Have spent the last month cramming as much work in as I can before I leave and as a result am feeling rather burnt out. Have not done any running at all in the past weeks and am nursing a cold and mouth ulcers. Not the best way to prepare for a 250km endurance race at all! Add to that word emerging from RacingThePlanet to expect stifling temperatures of 50 degrees celcius with no wind and heat that can boil water on car bonnets and it doesn’t make for a pretty picture.

Still, am confident that once I arrive in the Gobi there will be nothing on my mind except completing the race and doing myself and those who believe in me proud. As a matter of fact, I can’t wait to start running and have a quiet positive expectancy of this brand new experience.

As was the case in the Sahara, am looking forward to receiving messages of love and support. I find that they are a tremendous source of nourishment for the soul and would love for you to make a little space in your day and heart to send me some positive words.

You can do so by going to www.4deserts.com/gobimarch and selecting email a competitor from the Race Coverage drop-down list. Names are arranged according to surnames, so look for Lawrence Thaddeus

Thank you much from my heart.
