Why is it that the things that hurt the most are often the best for us??
The Wombat ran with the front runner group tonight, (I am happy to use the term wombat on myself at the moment because during these hard sessions it is constantly hanging out). Hyde park and a smaller than usual group. Easy warm up then into the session. One large lap around the two lakes at a steady pace then one faster lap around only the top lap. Did this 4 times. Raf smashed the session tonight and it was great to see the sort of form that he will travel over seas with.
Found the going tough and seem to be able to maintain a steady solid pace however the varied pace causes me a little grief. Still a long way to go but every day is a step in the right direction.
Completed an easy cool down. Covered 6 miles for the night.
Run on Wombats...
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.
