Man oh man... If i could ever give one piece of advice to any up and coming athlete that would be "Never stop doing what your doing" I took a break after 2000. This was mainly because I missed a major goal that I had set and then went off the rails a little. on top of that I let some niggles go which ultimately became an injury. from then on everything just became a struggle and I lost sight of what it is that I actually enjoyed doing...and that was running. I ran not because I was good at it , I ran because I simply enjoyed the freedom that it gave me and because I enjoyed running I did it more and then I eventually became good at it. Then I threw it all in and ever since I have been trying to get it back...My arse keeps hanging out on runs and just like the wombat's arse its gonna get hard.

So any young runners out there never stop doing what you enjoy most....

Another token run tonight.. left the burrow and ran close to home cover a very token 3 miles. This gives me a grand total distance for this week so far of 24 miles. hardly the breakfast of champions but at least its another step in my journey....and I have run every day since new year.

Barrel on Wombats...
