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.

Friday and Saturday runs....

Hang'n in there...


Friday 10th.
Achilles is still stiff and movement through the right heel is restricted. Made a conscious effort not to limp which was difficult despite the fact that there was no pain.. Covered my minimum distance of 3 miles.

Saturday 11th..
am Run.. Ran through Kangaroo Rise while my two young wombats rode their bikes.. Slower than usual for the distance but good to be out. The Achilles was a little freer today , possibly a result of some serious stretching. Started an Achilles regime this morning that will require calf raises and drops am and pm for the next 12 weeks. 3 miles
Did my 90 heel drops at level one both am and pm (180 for the day…Ouch!!)

Barrel on Wombats...
