About Me

My photo
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.

Beware the dark side young Wombat....


I am soooooo weak.... Having not run since Tuesday I am climbing the walls and the feeling of guilt is incredible. I had established a routine of sorts, my eating habits had stabilised and I was on a positive cycle... how quickly all that changes....
In the last two days all I can hear is the calling of chocolate from the fridge and of course after much debate in my head I weakened (every time) to the dark side and ATE IT UNTIL IT WAS ALL GONE....... "I am not an animal I am a human being" I have become an eating machine, even my dog is afraid to stand still for tool long in case I try to take a bite out of her.... probable tastes like chicken???
The internal struggle between good and evil is such a tough battle. I am not allowed to do much more than walk, and not even briskly, until the results of my tests are back in. I feel like sneaking a sprint in to the letter box just so it feels like a run but I don't want to jeopardise my health further. I think not knowing is the worst bit..
Well thought I would touch base... many thanks to all the well wishers of the Wombat Warrior... Maybe I am be made to learn a lesson from all this or maybe its a test of the wombat resolve, time will tell...
Barrel on wombats....
