I will start near the end and work to the back before coming to the now.
Christmas 2008... I was larger than what I was in my previous life as a single bloke without kids and even as a hitched bloke without kids... I had gained considerable weight in relation to what I termed a racing weight of 65kg... In fact I was , for me anyway, a heavy 84kg.
Running was non existent and I had made spasmodic attempts to get back some form since 2002 with limited success and limited motivation.
What was it that changed then...Put simply my attitude to both physical activity, drinking and eating... But above all I wanted my kids to see that I was active and could be active with them...
About Me
- The Wombat Warrior
- The older I get the better I was... but after many years of idle burrowing the candle of desire is still burning and I have come to realise that running is as much a part of me as my heart and lungs... In Christmas 2008 I was 82kg and was not running a step..This is my journey , the journey of the wombat...Dogged...determined...persistent...and maybe a little grumpy.. but like the wombat my journey is territorial, its about running and I am going to work to protect it...Come along for the ride and see if I can become the wombat warrior. 2009 was a mixed bag for the wombat's journey.A top ten placing in both the Bridges and the City Surf brought a small sense of achievement but also a degree of frustration.... I think I can do better and better I will in 2010. A better run in the Busso Half iron man in support of TV in his swim and bike ride and that was about the extent of my racing. Lets see what happens in 2010 as "My journey Continues". Now in 2011 the wombat will continue his journey, but not alone the wombat has a youngling who knows how to dig. 2015 and its a new beginning , time goes on and the journey to the 2016 World Masters is under way.
