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.

Wombat Warriors take up your arms....

Thursday night was a really good pre-race session...A solid 2 km surge then 2 x 1km and 4 x 500m all with 90second recovery.. The 2k was just shy of 7 minutes and the ks went 3.12 and 3.07 the 500s were 1.26 even .. This tells me that I am in a semi decent state for the Bridges or at least it looks good in my diary..... a solid 7 mile night.

The next two day's running (tonight and tomorrow) will be very easy turn over runs just to keep things ticking over... Tonight I will cover 4 miles and do some really good stretching and then tomorrow I will run early morning to give myself almost 24hr before the race over the 10km distance...

My nerves are churning and I have a hit list in my pocket but you will have to wait until Sunday to read about the out come..

To all you wombat warriors good luck with your weekend of running be it the Bridges Fun run, Hillary's triathlon or over at Geelong (go Jason show us your wombat) good luck and good racing... remember that like the wombat when the going gets tough DIG DEEP...
