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.

Because we can....

Went to bed rooted and woke up tired.....man you gotta love that feeling, and they say that rest aids recovery. I am not really doing much else besides run and I am still tired. (I mean I go to work each day)

At the moment I am trying to cheat the fitness so I am not running over flat ground.. When I leave work I stop at Helena Valley and run the Pipeline loop. hard to say if I am getting stronger because the heat is killing me. Tonight while the young wombats were doing their sport training I ran up the heritage trail into Mundaring..At least it was down hill coming home although that did not seem to make much difference to my legs and general weariness.

I feel sure that over time everything will pay off and add to the work that I did last year but I guess only time will tell....and remember "Chase the dreams while you can" because there may come a time when you can't run.....

Barrel on Wombats.....

    must be awesome being that close to Mundaring. When looking at potential blocks of land for building a house last year I found myself asking the same question every time, what sort of training opportunities are nearby. location, location, location! Hope the persistent hard work pays off, and you can build on the very significant momentum from last year.
    Couldnt agree more with;
    "Chase the dreams while you can" because there may come a time when you can't run.....
