24.01.2022 Pounding feet and giant icebergs! What is going on? Louise and Cathy are in training for the Antarctic Ice Marathon but I am happy to report, they are not causing any super icebergs to calve. This was a natural event. Check out the story below. Good luck girls with your training for December's race. http://www.antarctica.gov.au//gigantic-iceberg-breaks-off-

07.01.2022 How do you get to Antarctic to race? In a Ilyushin IL-76 aircraft, flying from Punta Arenas, Chile and landing on a naturally-occurring and maintained ice runway on the Union Glacier. With a wingspan of 50.5m, after the 4 1/4 hr flight, Louise and Cathy will take their first steps in Antarctica. The girls will then hop into a specially adapted van for the 8km ride to Union Glazier Camp.

05.01.2022 Louise's last training run was "tough from the start", she says. She has been taking inspiration from Aly Raisman "You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger. The bad days make you realize what a good day is. If you never have any bad days, you would never have that sense of accomplishment!"... Go Louise, we are with you, running strong for Sanjiwani. We love the commitment you and Cathy have.
