Day 73

---

So we really are on the brink now ,tomorrow morning Philip will attempt his next run and the nerves are beginning to show , it was a long old day of doing nothing a lazy Saturday in the sun in Australia premier holiday spot reading newspapers and books and watching the world pass by.

Heaven in many ways but today its just impossible to enjoy any of it . We just need it to be Sunday now and get on running . There is nothing left to prep just a large bowl of spag bol for tea. Its bobby’s favourite and coach Lou texts us to tell us pasta pasta makes you faster which Philip likes. We watch the wheelchair half marathon and while this is undoubtley inspiring we just want to run, we make no attempts to engage in small talk and banter or make friends like we normal do. We visit the cinema to watch Karate Kid but just cant bring ourselves to watch it concentration levels are shot

The tele shows a football team were familiar landing at Sydney airport and getting to see Everton in a fourth continent and seeing friends from home should excite us but we hardly give it a second thought, that is an adventure for next week and first Philip has the biggest adventure of all tomorrow maybe then I can tell you the whole story……..
